I've been trying ti find a good AU alternative to the CL for a while. The function I've found hardest to recreate in anything else is the low frequency switch.
Apart from that, Waves L2 and L3 are good limiters that are easy to configure.
d16's Frontier sounds very nice indeed but perhaps lacks the fine controls and metering for an accurate mastering final limiter.
I'd been hoping for Cakewalk to release a Mac/AU version of the CL as they did with the CA-2A, which is as good an LA-2A style compressor plugin as any and better than most. Not to be I guess.
