meh....ZZZZzzzzzzzzz

I got it on sale for 50. I always force myself to use it. It's okay I guess. Sounds okay. Don't bother much with it anymore.

Waves l2-l3 sound better and are simpler to me.

Yeah yeah, maybe I'm setting this one up wrong but the interface doesn't inspire much use.

Get only on sale. < $50

Love it

The ultimate brickwall limiter. Never goes over 0db yet still protects the character of the audio.
