Hi folks

Don't know if I'm missing something here but I can't see the Concrete Limiter in Pro Channel! Under Preferences I've ticked 'Scan for VST Plugins on Startup' but it just ain't there!

When I click the + sign at the top of the channel I see: Breverb 2; Console Emulator Bus; Console Emulator Channel; Saturation Knob; and FX Chain.

But no Concrete Limiter unfortunately. Someone put me out of my misery please :-( It really looks like it hasn't installed for some reason.

Thanks

YC

I know its a daft question but have you purchased it as a add on to Sonar?

Cheers
Steve.

Nah it's not a daft question Steve. The answer's no but I assumed - perhaps naively - that it comes bundled with X2 Producer.

Now you're going to tell me that it isn't aren't you? :-)

YC

You need to buy it seperately.

No, sorry, it isn't.
 
There are extra modules that can be purchased.  They are:-
-Concrete Limiter
-PC2a Leveling Amp
-PC4K Channel Comp
-PC4K Expander/Gate
- sometimes the Softube bundle.
 
They are all worth getting, especially the first two.  I love them.
 
Sorry that they're not included...

Sorry mate, but at least you know why now.

Cheers
Steve.

And that's why I love this forum :-)

I could have wasted hours looking for the thing!

Cheers chaps

BTW YC, whilst on the subject I highly recommend it as a purchase as well as the PC2a. The Concrete Limiter isn't as "clean" as say the Waves L1, L2 etc, but it also doesn't cost anywhere near as much and it's a big improvement over Boost 11. Works great for me on buses and such.

And I strongly recommend the PC2a.  I use it on all sorts of things, but LOVE it on vocals.  It's my favorite of the extra modules, with the CL a close second.
 
Having said that, I'm using the 4K Expander/Gate more and more.

  My must have modules are also PC2A, Concrete limiter, and expander/gate.  I like the PC2A as much as the UAD LA2 that I never use anymore. And for what I use it for, track or buss limiter, I prefer the concrete limiter over Waves L1 or L2. I let the WUP expire on L1 in November. CW has it covered
