Introduction to TDR Limiter 6 GE

www.tokyodawn.net/tdr-limiter6...
TDR Limiter 6 GE is a modern dynamics compression and limiting toolkit featuring six specialized modules that can be arranged in variable order. Together, they cover a remarkable range of applications from delicate loudness control, to brutal “brick-walling” and creative mix bus crunching.

This is how plugins should be presented and explained. TDR doesn't want to sell us some sort of magic but actual tools to work with.

This is the Legendary Dan Worral! 🥰

[@saardean4481]

Watching this video for the fifth time. Trying to memorize and learn. What an amazing tool and what a great explanation video. One of the best tutorials i've watched. Zero b...it and on point all the time.

[@jorgedejesustejedavaldez5283]

This plugin is so underrated. I love every single bit of it

[@AudioReplica2023]

YES! thank TokyoDawnLabs for listening our request for Dan Worrall tutorial. Thats the man!

[@rjbenson16]

Might as well be the voice of God. Well done, TDR and Dan.

[@shaft9000]

so God is a VST marketer with an absurdly twee delivery, unable to resist the urge to dribble out a 'jen-till' and 'trans-PAR'int' every ten seconds? lol

[@Rhekluse]

Everything TDR does is Gold, including who they choose to endorse & demo their products. Go on ya Legend, Dan. Great stuff.

[@nicolasalexander408]

Dan's a phenom....🥰I wish I had a brain!

[@m1ndsurf3r]

i'm still overwhelmed by all the features and possibilities! WOW!!

[@Rolanoid]

What a true pro. No ums and ahs. Great tutorial and plugin!

[@jarcau_vegan]

No De-Um or De-Ah used!!

[@alexhormann8931]

I've spent some time comparing it to several top limiters and yes, if you know what you are doing it clearly stands out. Doesn't hide behind some obscure algorithm designations which distort or duck because of weak controlability. Great tool for those who want to know more about proper limiting by the way.

[@winterjps]

Dan is the man! I love his narration. Not to mention TDR's plugins. Fantastic!

[@sonicaspect7895]

i use limiter6 free a lot, which is still an amazing plugin itself... and i knew limiter6 GE had some improvements/addition but didn't deeply investigate it... but as usual, Dan MFing Worrall dropped that knowledge bomb like BAM, and now i feel silly for not getting it last time it was on sale, this thing is an absolute BEAST Limiter plugin

[@AudioReplica2023]

you guys should make like a channel strip plugin using the slick eq, kotelnikov and proximity ...I don't know I'm just talking crap here😂

[@howardayee551]

I'll buy any plugin that Dan Worrall explains..... I learn so much more than anywhere else with this guy!!!

[@andreunaqui7680]

He comprado todo el paquete de producción de Tokyo Dawn Records ❤

[@nelsonstarr5356]

Had I known this was coming out, I would have held off on the (rather specialized) TDR DeEdger purchase! Sadly, I can't afford this now, due to that relatively steep (these days) investment. Regardless...Limiter 6 GE is a must-have plugin and I am very happy with this feature set! Finally someone has put out a Limiter/Maximizer/etc. package that has just about everything you could want (except perhaps a more robust dither package...but I use a separate, pet favorite anyway) in a Limiter and gets all the stuff...right! There are so many good sounding Limiters out there that still don't have gain matched A/Bing. Whatever one chooses to call it, it's essential to compare volume matched "befores and afters" (or else louder is better every time...!?). So, Bravo on not messing that up! Bravo on all the Mid-Side implementation too--that obviously was well thought out and not easy to fit under one GUI hood! Bravo also on the separate HF Limiter (I hate harsh hi hats!) and for your acknowledgement of the need for, yes, clipping on a master...it's not a secret anymore is it!? Lastly, it's laudable that TDR has devised a limiting plugin with such a comprehensive and high-quality set of dynamics tools--including all the bells and whistles one could imagine--and metering necessary to make a great master at such an affordable price! Oh, how could I forget??? ...Dan Worrall is absolutely, without any doubt, THE BEST plugin "introducer" and tutorial guy in the business! And it's not only his voice!! ...it's the care and attention he gives to uncovering every nuance of the plugin and how it can function, both technically and artistically--all delivered within the context of and with a deep knowledge about the audio topic itself. And, Dan's own audio and mixing examples show that, along with his impeccable engineering (used to illustrate often subtle changes in timbre), we can actually hear those changes--thus hear the plugin! He does an excellent job of making sure we all can get a real audition of what it sounds like (I can't believe that some videos DON'T do this still)! You can tell that Dan is a seasoned pro who knows both engineering and plugin development as well as the designers do--while also having a knack for putting together logical, well-explained videos, friendly to experts and up-and-comings alike!

[@bb-of3qz]

This is a no brainer. Used on a few projects since I got it, sit on the mix buss along with the Slick EQM EQ. Also use it as a pre to the out on my analog chain, massive flexibility and control. This company is killing it. Oh love this Dan Worrall guy, sexy smooth announcer man.

[@MegaFiredon]

Let me say it all over again and as many time it is needed this is another instant buy.... TAKE MY MONEY TDR these guys need to be supported they are doing great plugins and not the same renamed plugins that everyone does in this days i have Air Eq, S Bundle and many more plugins and none of them come near to this plugin guys please dont sell out to the big companies you are doing some AMAZING PLUGIN WORK you deserve a plugin award for your job!!

[@SanderLite]

Респект за то, что хоть они то додумались разделить модуль сатурации, клиппера... Да ещё и менять их в цепочке местами туда-сюда.

[@mattjarrett9774]

It's like Jackanory for production nerds. Really detailed explanation.

[@FennezMarson]

After two afternoons/nights of comparing clippers and limiters, it feels just unreal that now, with fresh ears on day three, this beauty is the clear winner while being ~twice as cheap as the others. ARE YOU GUYS CRAZY? That's just amazing, and to be honest, you could even charge twice the price solely because of this GREAT tutorial (#byebyewaves). THANK YOU!

[@TokyoDawnRecords]

I find it crazy that our competition is unable to sell their products at listed prices. At the end of the day, they are forced to strike them though, and also sell around 50-60$. :) We don't advertise at all, so we can save you from having to finance the bullshit part. When buying from us, three quarter of your money goes directly into research and development, with infrastructure and taxes eating about a quarter. It's non profit in the sense that no bank, no greedy mr Burns or Silicon valley investor is involved (all goes into paying developers/tech).

[@FennezMarson]

@@TokyoDawnRecords AMAZING!

[@Mansardian]

I had to LOL when I came for a deeper explanation, enthusiastically noticed Dan being the presenter and then read the comment section - where, of course, people praise the plugin but Dan Worrall as well. He is a gem. Never ever let him go, TDR!

[@AizenIPlannedIt]

always enjoy the music in these videos

[@Ant3739]

These have to be some of the best tutorials on the web. Well done TDR - great products, I wish I had known about your products earlier, I would have saved myself a lot of money.

[@silversulu]

Honestly, Dan's tutorials are so clear and straightforward, I'd buy a garbage pail masquerading as a zerro gain utility from the guy ;)

[@graywyot]

I believe TDR Limiter 6 GE is the most feature rich limiter.

[@DennisVeeMusic]

Dan Worral is brilliant at reviews as usual! Great Plugin! Thank you!

[@podespault]

TDR is one of the best plugins companies out there and this is marvellously well presented.

[@seenbelow]

Man the TDR plugins are fucking gold. I seriously wonder why pros barely use them (at least from what I've seen so far).

[@TokyoDawnRecords]

Oh! They do, no worries. :) Many mastering houses list us right beside their fancy gear.

[@cesargonzalezbueno3359]

Luca Pretolesi is one of them😁. He uses this limiter.

[@bellrock3507]

You guys are Amazing. The Video is Amazing, and (since i am amazing in many ways myself, but as a user, not with the power of programming, and creating tools, for us to use. I have bought the Limiter instantly. I should use it, and say something nice, afterwards, but since that is not my workflow, i might update that information later. Witch is now...) the first impression using it is pretty lovely. I am still "noob-trying" witch is very useful, because i need to lear how to use every parameter of your device, to fully understand how to use it, and what it is capable of. But the result of "noob-trying" so far is a very satisfiening experience. In my Opinion Izotope is the strongest contender i know. But the pay 200 bucks more for the advanced version to get the option to use the single components of ozone 7 might be a error in my thinking, but since i like stuff that works quick. Your Product is the better choice for me right now. And i like plug and play stuff, that allows me to set my focus on what i am doing, and to really use my own capacity for the final product: the music made to satisfy people in general. I have looked for a limiting option i feel comfortable for finalizing stuff. And i have found it here. Thank you very much for your service as a company of brilliant people. Your customer friendly policy (free stuff, for people to use the core of your products, to give them power for music, and the option to really test if, and when it is useful, to upgrade to the (in your case really) advanced gentleman edition) is really working in my case. I am (as you might see in this comment) very happy right now. And i am looking forward, to "doing a lot of cool shit" with the power of your tools.

Very interesting tutorial. Clear and logical. Concepts explained here apply to this plug but also to mastering processes in general. Thanks !

[@take.off.]

It's funny how Tokyo Dawn Labs easily creates the best mixing/mastering plugins, and more than that, they are free. And more than that, there a versions of those plugins which do cost money, aaaaand more than that these are even better. So sick.

It’s the DELTA function that has me sold. I want to be able to hear just how much and what kind of distortion I’m adding to my track and this is one of the very few limiters that give me that.

[@Journeymanlive]

totally awesome

[@synesthetica]

TDR plugins are my desert island plugins and based on my satisfaction with them I can tell that this will soon be my only limiter.

After successfully mastering with the free version, I purchased the GE edition yesterday. What a fantastic suite of tools! The only complaint that I have is, my Auto Pad doesn't function correctly. It lowers the level of the bypass and the non-bypass signal. Pressing bypass with Auto Pad still drops the level. I didn't let that stop me though! I wish I knew what the problem is. Using it with Reaper, on a track, not the Master Bus.

[@joost3783]

[@PASHKULI]

bought this bad boy, been using its "beta" version called "Limiter№6" for ages... was about time to update, as the GUI of the old one did not respond well in Cakewalk 2022.02

[@dissdad8744]

14:21 Wow, the width drive!!! Can it be automated and used for creative purposes? I'm thinking of using it like a filter, but instead of lowpassing the signal you narrow and widen it.

[@TerrenceCallahan]

Great limiter, 4/5 stars. Only because it introduces very audible distortion if pushed semi-aggressively. Maybe it's just for these 2 hip-hop/trap singles I'm working on for a client, but it doesn't handle low end very well. The mixes are wonderful but I ended up having to go with the Fabfilter pro L2 because the TDR couldn't handle it. Oddly enough, the original free Limiter no6 handled the signal better. Anyway, I just used the TDR limiter 6 on a 20 track hip hop record and it performed well. The beats were a lot less bass heavy though, like 90s boombap compared to heavy trap. That's my 2 cents. TDR works great but beware of the dirt if you push it too hard. Or, use it to get ur kicks nice and dirty in the mix or something. Happy mixing/mastering everybody!
