+1 for another customer waiting for a 50% off sale ;) I'll be jumping on board then and ONLY then.

'hint hint cake'

Yes - good point. Earlier they were willing to sell it for $49 and even $10 depending on the conditions.
 
I have already spent $$ for the Sonar x2 upgrade and $99 for the TH2 - that's in addition to ProChannel Expanded, Rapture full version upgrade (which was included two months later in X2!!), and a bunch of other PC plugs (in fact, I think I have all of them now EXCEPT for the Concrete Limiter).

I use the concrete limiter on tracks and the TRacks Brickwall Limiter on busses - best of both worlds!

I personally love the CL, you can achieve some very interesting results when used with other plugins, the one method I like to use regularly is to really push the threshold on certain samples, it can drag out and extend any built in effect the sample may have and can sound rather pleasing. 

I use it a fair bit and love it, not my favourite PC module, that is the PC2A, but the limiters pretty good all the same.

I do likewise myself quite frequently:

• concrete limiter on tracks (for it's low CPU consumption); sometimes even while tracking (I'm getting John worried again!), but only for recorded raw tracks that are sent to headphone mixes
• TRacks Brickwall in the busses and sometimes master as this is a really superb brickwall (or maybe I just got so used to it)

 
 
 

I love the CL - I use it on buses only. There are a few exeptions to the rule but it's the best bus limiter ever!

And I track while monitoring through it to from time to time - depending on stuff - yes John, there are many rules but whatever works, works, right? LOL

John... always remember-  I AM the non-conformist!!!!  I love to do things the "wrong" way sometimes...just because I can!   And sometimes I surprise myself with good results!  LOL

the thing about DAWs, the beauty of it is that you can monitor your signal through the weirdest things. Sometimes you'd want to and I want to very often because I have about 3 seconds to do a 90 minute job that should be sent to the client yesterday. I try to hear the mix as early as possible sometimes. Limiters introduce some significant latency. I love the Pro-L and that's my go-to limiter for the serious final limiting. Or I use Ozone for more detailed stuff. Or I use Ozone with the Pro-L. It depends. But I can't track through these because the latency is murder! And a compressor is not always the best "limiter emulation".

The CL is a VERY capable limiter and introduce little or no latency. It's a great tracking limiter and it's a great bus limiter with it's Bass Limit thingamabop switch thingy.

but if you ever want to track while monitoring through a Limiter, the CL is perfect!

Whatever works, roight?
