I wonder which settings on the Adaptive Limiter would be closest to the way the CL effects the signal? Anyone know?

I don't know, but Craig said in post #21 that they have a different sound.
 

 
It's important to remember that the main sonic differences will show up when you push units harder. The biggest difference to me with the CL is the Bass button.
 

A few thoughts on new limiter, after playing with it today for the first time. First, it made me re-sign to my rent to own program...even though I can't afford 27 dollars a month :). Poor and unsuccessful polymath, it might be looking up though, depending on marks for Master of Philosophy due next week, sorry I digressed. 
 
But the 27 dollars a month is worth it, and this is only after playing with the limiter for an hour or so. Amazing device, it really creams the competition...Waves L3 and all that. The meters built into the device, Luffs, and the K set are awesome. I always knew that I was close in regards to my Luffs, this is because understanding the analogue emulation aesthetic and proper gain staging means it's hard to go over the desired Luffs range for various applications...but having the meter there reassuring me is nice, as is the K meters, again reassuring me I have got the track within range.
 
One of the differences between the aforementioned Concrete Limiter that some have mentioned in the above posts, is even though I suspect the soft switch on both devices does the same thing, the adaptive limiter just having more options, the adaptive limiter doesn't sound as woolly in the low-mids. This is a good thing and a bad thing, because that wooliness is great for certain types of tracks, and is a signature of the analogue emulation aesthetic or the sound of tape...because of the transparency...I think, the adaptive limiter just doesn't seem to be able to get that sound. Of course, you can push the bass up slightly on the passive EQ just before the limiter ;), but that wooliness is still gone. Maybe I will figure it out, after all it's only been an hour lol.

I am loving the Adaptive Limiter. Applied it to a rock instrumental i just finished recording and sounds great. I agree with Tom P above, I prefer it over Ozone. Great to have all these awesome stock plug in's. I just recently moved to Sonar and just find my mixes are sounding more pro. I am not having to use my purchased plug ins much as Sonar just delivers!

I'm very happy having The Adaptive Limiter .Thank You Cakewalk .
It certainly holds it's own compared to a few of the 3 rd party Limiters I have .
I have used The Adaptive Limiter on the past few tunes I have done ...
My preference has been to mix my song , export it , and then bring my exported mix back into SONAR as a fresh project for a Pseudo Mastering session with the goal of posting my tune on social media.
The Adaptive Limiter is certainly more than adequate for that intended use combined w the Pro Channel EQ .
 
I also still use the CL and the Boost 11 ....I  like using the CL on a track per track basis within my song projects ..
 The CPU is pretty light . Most of the time finding a sweet spot is only a few clicks away ...
The Boost 11 seems well suited for a real fast down and dirty lets put a  little Hair of the Dog back on to 3 rd party loops or loops I have chopped up from my own song creations that I'm introducing into a current song project ..
 
all the best,

Speaking of limiters ... I attach a link where there is a comparator of limiters, I hope it will be very useful and I think it will throw many concepts of some brands of prestige.
