Anyone compare this to Pro-L?

Yes. Pro-L remains king of the hill. However, Adaptive Limiter holds up pretty darn good alongside it, even before taking into account the large price difference.

Think anyone would hear a difference if the two were used on a track?

Good point, feature sets aside if there's no sonic difference (or detectable anyways) I sure like the simpler look of AL. I've got Pro-L and limiter no6 (free). Have used Elephant in the past and was interested in DMG Limitless but all I really "need" is a good transparent limiter. I use Klangfreud Lufs meter for levels.

I love my PC Concrete Limiter but damn, that little thing makes me jealous not having the 2017 season pass on Steam T^T

Probably worth trying out to see. Personally I'm interested in trying it against IK's Stealth Limiter. That's my current favorite because it really does seem to work like a volume knob, it just doesn't seem to change the character at all. It also doesn't require (or indeed support) any fiddling with parameters, it is really simple which is good for me since I am not any good at this stuff.
 
I'm going to be interested to give this a go against the Stealth Limiter once the final version launches.

Simpler than Pro L? What's complicated about that one??

I get your point, truly I do, but I always feel this is a little bit of a lame argument. If YOU hear enough of a difference, it's worth it. Nobody in the general public cares if you used a vintage LA2A, a Warm Audio clone or a plugin either. They wouldn't even be able to tell. Your musician friend probably couldn't even tell. But if that became the standard why make music at all? I at least am doing it because I love it and I get a kick out of every extra percent of extra quality I can squeeze out. Whether it's through studying on my instrument or by buying a piece of kit (hardware or software).

Will the Adaptive Limiter be available for Sonar Professional or is it Platinum only?

Adaptive Limiter
(Platinum and Professional)

The Adaptive Limiter is a professional look-ahead brickwall peak limiter that is designed for both mixing and mastering now available in the Engineering Suite. It feature Inter Sample Peak (ISP) detection, 4 different limiting “Character” types, LUFS Loudness & K-Metering, as well MP3 codec preview, and real-time dithering. These different limiting types allow the engineer to have control over how transparent or aggressive the limiter behaves so it can be catered for different material making it a great track limiter and a perfect mastering limiter.

It's not a "lame argument," it's a legitimate question but I guess no one is interested in answering it. I don't have a Pro-L, or I wouldn't have to ask...I could do the comparison myself.
 

Will there be any point in continuing to use the Concrete Limiter once we have this?
I know I haven't touched Boost 11 since I got the Concrete Limiter.
