advice on buying a Limiter !
I need a good limiter at max $93
I have tried this and i was very satisfied with the demo version : http://www.stillwellaudio.com/plugins/stillwell-audio-plugins/event-horizon/
A very clean and open transparent limiter, but it do not have any " look ahead or adjustable attack knob "
Do i need that ?
What other options besides this limiter will you advice me to get ?
( no iLOC / waves plugins .. )

That falls outside the $93 expense account he has...at $219... There are some "decent" limiters...The Concrete Limiter from Cakewalk for $55 right now on sale ...it's not GREAT, but it's decent... I get great results with T-Racks Brickwall...and, for another "all in one" choice Ozone 5 is good... Another really good Limiter, but not transparent is Big Blue from 112db... https://www.112db.com/bigblue/limiter/It's $99, just slightly over your expense limit.. There are a lot of good FREE limiters...so, I highly recommend downloading "demos" and finding one that works for "you".... Probably one of the "cheapest" but good limiters is ToneBoosters...TBBarricade...is 15 Euros ($19 roughly)...or you can get the entire TB BusTools for 75 Euros...about $100 bucks...they're good stuff... There's a lot of good ones out there...it's going to be up to you...

Great job on options Larry! As far as free: Vladg has his Limiter no.6 which is good but has a learning curve.

Thanx Jimbo... Limiter No. 6 gets a lot of great reviews for a freebie! There's so much "good" stuff out there it's crazy... you can do "a lot" for free these days...if you try hard... and for a few bucks you can get some really good stuff too... You don't have to break the bank to make good music... And of course, the most important aspect of Great Recordings is GREAT TRACKING P, L, & M...

Thanks for all the suggestions, but i did buy the Stillwell Audio, EventHorizon limiter for now.
It's an good and transparent limiter, and it don't sound Hard / harsh when i push it, like the boost 11 do.
Also when adding a little soft clip, it will widen the stereo image a bit to, if needed, so no use for a widening tool ;-)
Now ill better keep looking for a good EQ, will buy the Sonimus : SonEQ pro when it comes.
Then ill keep searching for similar EQ, as for me, an EQ is the most important tool i have.
I also did buy this one... so 2 plugins for my creds ;-), do not know how useful it will be then..

Thank's everyone, GOD bless you all ;-)

LimiterNo.6 is as good as any of the limiters mentioned in my opinion. I love Pro-L and the gui and help features do set it apart, but for transparent sound...LimiterNo.6 is as good.

It is nice to have the ability to use the Concrete limiter in the Pro channel.

The recommendations keep coming, but the OP made his decision 3 days ago. I assume Event Horizon will turn out to be a decent choice, based on experience with other Stillwell products. Sausage Fattener, however, is inexcusable.
 All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to. My Stuff
