skin looks interesting ... but the sample posted looks so dark :|

Is this the look, or has it been altered for posting here ?

I compressed the jpeg to low quality for fast uploading.

Does this replace the old L6 in the plugin folder? Is it possible to use both?

Yes.You can replace the older version.

I tried this again yesterday. Tried the presets as a starting point because there are so many parameters. Am going to try the video settings as a guide. Does anyone have any general settings that they start with (for ballad type material)? The mix presets were very extreme but really cool sounding (mix 1-6). Looking for more of an upfront punchy sound without too much squashing and pumping. Any advice cheerfully accepted!

Love that skin, but I also love the classic VU, especially scaled for low GR.

You really need to get thru the manual a few times on this, there are some starting points, but it's best explained in the manual.
Take a good look at what's happening in the comp section though. Very important, you may not need it at all. It's in the I, II, III particular parameters, or A, B, C timings that cannot be easily explained.

Once you get it, you will find that often, there are not enough controls LOL.

- My fav section is the clipper and the HFL. I think he should make a full featured version of only the 2 modules, with only a LP/HPF at each end.

yeah you gotta read the manual to understand. mostly i start with preset master 1 and adjust from there

That's actually the preset I preferred! Thanks for all the advice, the video is pretty cool and I took notes to try tonight... I was looking at the Slate FG-X but it seems people here like this as much, if not better. The Molot is a wonderful compressor and the dream team behind the Slick eq is very exciting, and a scary great product. Glad Vlag is getting the recognition he deserves! Wonderful stuff! Actually think the L6 old style GUI is the coolest interface out there makes me think of zapping Tessla coils....!

The only area the FG-X beats it is the nice large meter and RMS display. In any case, I just use Voxengo Span for metering, so no biggie.

And I like the GUI-2 - the simple grey one, that doesn't replicate hardware. Not far from what Valhalla use for their work. I can't help it, but "Hardware GUIs" still looks like a wannabe thing to me. Let's enjoy fine digital engineering, like vladg can come up with [I love the new VOS-TDR trio] and let the GUIs reflect that.

Since, for me (at least) this limiter is a combination of 5 discreet GR stages, I'm using .025 to 2db GR each, scaling all of the meters to 4 decibels is a stroke of absolute genius. You can easily see the minute contribution of each stage, mainly reacting to the tiniest of transient information. It becomes very intuitive and makes the entire plugin comprehensive.

For starters on this one, I would first check to make sure the path isn't limit>comp. That will send your head spinning, I've made that mistake before

Then turn off all sections, except the final protection, (if you're using it.)

Start in order, with comp at very low. This is just conditioning, I don't like it to move too much. The control scheme is a little odd at first. Use gain to increase compression.

Also use comp to fine tune the contribution to the limiter section's reaction - in tandem with the limiter's own threshold control. It's all feel. At this point you have a few things to juggle, and you do need to understand the time constants depending on the type of limiting you choose.

Peak limit is actually pretty easy, (we can't move it before the limiter tho?) Have to be careful, you may not need it, it is more of a troubleshooter imo. Can be very useful on drum groups, definitely unruly hard gate synth appregios.

Then clipper is the fun part. Play with clipper vs limiter contributions, pay attention to the clipper modes.

Peak protection is mainly set and forget.

This limiter really makes you think on various planes of dynamic, frequency, and timing at once, really fun and effective.

Very cool advice!

exactly thats what i love about it too! every module does a tiny bit of work (max 2db) and the scaling of the meter is top!

I too love all of the above - I especially like multiband mode in the limiter section and the clipper for transparent management, knowing that the final true peak protection limiter will do the brickwall bit.

PS really digging the new GUI. The meters are nice and clear.

Is there a new version? Does it support aax? What are the differences?
Limiter n°6 was my first limiter, I do own fg-x and fabfilter one now but vlad is still my favorite one .

Yes there's a new version, but only VST/AU at the mo

Cool do we know what's different compared to the previous version?

There may be a change log note in the new installation

The History section on his page only goes as far as Feb 2013:

Limiter ?6 | vladg/sound

Really you should always at least try it on your kick buss. This saves you a lot of pressure on limiting later on. And the control set is perfect for it. Just try it.

Thank you!

Can anyone verify that the free limiter no 6 is not 64 bit? It is 64 bit windows only ?

Wow this limiter is crazy transparent! Doesn't color the stereo image of the program material, I've been using bx_true peak and never liked the way it altered the stereo image.

The clipper on this thing is fantastic as well! Will be using this as my limiter from now on

I have just realised that VladG kinda disappeared after 2017. Does anybody know what's happened with him? Found other work? Got married? His plugins are (still) really good. I'd love to see some more plugins from him.

I am not entirely sure but I believe Fabien has him chained up in a basement somewhere.

This post from November mentions "Will discuss this with Vlad."
