Nineteen bucks was too rich for my blood, but $16.15? Now there's a bargain!
If you don't already have a decent brickwall limiter, it might be worth it. The color options are fun and do change the sound. Did a quick compare with Waves L1 and ToneBoosters Barricade. All were good on tracks, but on full mixes, I thought the Chiarelli plug pumped too much for my tastes -- where's my release control? It also seemed to use a bit more CPU than the others.
The version I downloaded has an additional "Easy" option for the Attack, and "None" for the Color. Apparently there's a more loaded version in the works, thus the "Lite" suffix on this one. (Maybe the next one will have a release control.) Pro Tools versions coming, too.
Nice to see more independent devs producing cheap and decent plugins.
