Not quite what you are looking for but very good >and the only plugin with a brickwall limiter I know. It is now called >DYNAM-IZER and sold by www.rogernicholsdigital.com for $250,- I tested a handful of limiters a few months ago, including EA's Finis, and it came in dead last by far. That's why it's the only EA plug I don't own. Their cool compressor Neodynium distorted high-end too much to be useful for anything full-program. I don't know that I'd want to hear it with extreme settings to make it brickwall. At their old prices, I might recommend trying them, but not now. For a good brickwall, try Izotope's Ozone (just the Loudness Maximizer section) or WaveArts' FinalPlug.. http://www.izotope.com/products/audio/ozone/ http://www.wavearts.com/FinalPlug5.html Btw, both are available at audioMIDI.com for well below MSRP right now.
