Review & Test Of Stealth Limiter by IK Multimedia

[@Kirk-Monteux-Production]

I've been working with this limiter for about 2 months now and I couldn't bee happier!

[@Archaic1Eye]

Nice review, just what I needed. Great stuff.

[@Bring_MeSunshine]

Very useful, thanks. I have this as part of T-Racks Max, but didn't know about the Unity Gain Option - very important. One thing, I wished you explained more of is the Inter-Sample Pealk settings, but no complaint :-)

[@therealjackfisher]

Track-S 5 ONE Mastering Processor is what I use. That thing can also be pushed extremely hard without distorting or clipping.

Best limiter ever, greetings from Perú.

i realize it's kind of randomly asking but do anyone know of a good site to watch newly released movies online ?

[@martinbarrett9062]

@Clayton Remy I use Flixzone. Just search on google for it =)

[@armandoweston2688]

@Martin Barrett Definitely, been watching on Flixzone for years myself :)

[@anderskristian6220]

@Martin Barrett Thanks, I signed up and it seems to work :D Appreciate it!!

[@lyricishaan2880]

@Clayton Remy Glad I could help =)

[@da-el8547]

Definitely my fav limiter. It’s on everything I do

[@thesavman23]

And that sir, is how to demo! Very nice!

[@kadiummusic]

I use Tokyo Dawn's Limiter 6 which is very transparent but I'm thinking of running it in series with something with a bit more charachter... this might be the answer. 😎

[@deanc2000]

You never explained what the infrasonic filter did.

[@thlgnd]

It's just an 24dB filter set at 22 Hz.

[@kageprotv2922]

Yes. What About this infrasonic filtre? Thanks.

[@igorkhomenko2508]

In my tests I could not find anything that tames the very low frequencies better than this one. Just check that infrasonic filter. Gotta keep this one.

[@inactiveaccount843]

Nice review, many thanks. Very clean. I also like the IK Multimedia Clipper which can be clean or coloured depending on how the input is driven.. Other limiters to try are AOM Invisible Limiter, Voxengo Elephant and Fabfilter Pro L. All very good imho...

[@ande047]

Hey what was that first song you were working with?

[@pistolpetelopez]

How is it compared to Waves L2?

[@nickkapp1736]

I'm sure this is a noob question, but exactly are you hearing when you say that the limiter is "introducing artifacts?"

[@nate_creates]

It's not a noob question at all. Someone I know spent $30K on his studio setup and still made bad mixes because he couldn't tell that everything was being "squashed" by the limiter. Limiters tend to make everything sound overly compressed and very "dead" if pushed too far. Some will cause a slight amount of distortion, although it's not actually distortion that's being heard, but it sounds a lot like it. Basically, any alteration or coloration of the mix done by the limiter goes against the hard work that was put into making a track sound lively, dynamic, and pleasant to hear. Listen for parts of a track that were once very clean/crisp, but are now muddy. Hope this helped a little.

[@invisiblesouldier6166]

Those drums sound magnificent...

[@demongroovemusic]

It must be said, T-Racks sound great but create a shit ton of latency. Throw a few on there and you're looking at a half a bar before you hear sound through your speakers on a half decent rig. I'm running a ryzen 5 3400g, 16 g ram and an SSD and it struggles when I use a few of their plugins.

[@MikeVlcek]

Good review. I just don't think any of these songs really need that much of a lift in volume. We should be aiming at -14 Lufs, -12 at tops. Actually AES has just released a recommendation for music to be mastered around -16 Lufs, which for me is fine. The squashed mixes of today take the life out of the music. If everyone were to follow, limiters like this would never break up and pretty much any decent limiter would be able to provide pro results without generation artefacts. I for one am a new adopter of Kazrog's KClip, which is brilliant, though I never really needed to push it hard. Your examples sound surprisingly good when squashed, but do you really need to ever push a track that far? Regards

[@ProductionExpert]

+Mike Vlcek The KClip is a great little product, I did a review of this as well that you can find on our channel. I actually use one of the songs from this video in that review as well so you could get a quick comparison. In regards to squashing the audio I really wanted to demonstrate how this thing sounds when pushed hard. Thanks for commenting Mike! - Dan

[@MikeVlcek]

I remember that review and that song. That video made me buy KClip. Cheers ;)

[@ProductionExpert]

+Mike Vlcek Well Mike you've just made my day. Many thanks buddy - Dan

[@pfarina]

Amazing.
