Question about limiters


Braintree

Recommended Posts

Where would I be able to find a limiter plug-in for the PC? I can download one for mac, but I write all my music on my PC.

It says that if you're mastering to CD that you should add a dither after this plug in.

 

1) What would be the reason for this (what exactly would a dither-er do in this case)

2) Is there a freeware Dither Vst

 

EDIT: Well I found the answer to the second question : http://mda.smartelectronix.com/effects.htm but the first still remains.

Whatever you find won't touch this baby:

Seriously sounds as good as the Urei in my UAD-1.

 

As good as the UAD Urei.. no shit?

 

I use TC Works' Limiter from the Native Bundle.. pretty tight limiter.. that whole bundle is pretty cool, the reverb ain't half bad (nice substitue for impulse response reverbs, can't stand the latency of those ones)!

yeah I don't understand the whole point or what dithering even is. Anyone?

as far as i'm aware, dithering introduces inaudible random wave files to detract from the digital quality of the recording.. sort of pink noise shit.

I prefer This one . Actually maybe I havn't used the classic one enough but Im so used to the pocket limiter. I think also that soundcards dither before recording incoming audio as digital. So youve probably got noise in your recordings that you didn't ask for. Unless of course you did ask for it. Point being: NONE.
