I had been using L-1 from Waves (TDM version) after my final mixdowns when using an older system (Pro Tools, Sound Designer, etc.). Now I am trying out Logic (express) 7 to see if I like it. Has anyone used L-1 (or 2 or 3) from Waves with Logic 7? Their website says they have an Audio Units version. Anyone use it? If not, is there a good alternative?

I use the AU version of L1 in Logic 7 with the public beta AU Waveshell. Works fine, really a great all-in-one compressor. Can't give you an informed comparison with other similar plugins. - PH

Try out the UAD-1's "precision limiter". i just did a head to head test and found the UA PL to be "tighter", "snappier", with less pumping artifacts, at as close to the same settings as I could get between the two. Don't forget, with the UAD-1, you would need to either buy the big package to get this, or you could buy the cheapest system (as they all use the same hardware for DPS) and build from there, as you need the plugin. Oh, one more thing: UA DOESN'T make you pay every year to keep it current ;-) George ________________________________________________________ Check out my website at www.utopiaparkwaymusic.com Now both Mac OSX and Windows XP... the only way to fly ;-)

I'll second the recommendation on the UAD-1 precision limiter as well. I also did a head to head test against the L2 (software not hardware) from Waves with the same results. I find the PL cleaner as well compared to either L1 or L2. You can drive the PL a little bit more before distortion I found. What I find is that the low end is where the UAD-1 PL becomes tighter and snappier. Just my 2 cents, Fernstudio
