I’m about to do a little personal shootout on plug-in limiters mostly to challenge my current choice. I will of course share my findings with you.
Is there any particular plug-in you would like to see featured?
So far I’ve thought about Flux Pure Limiter, McDSP Retro Limiter and ML4000, Sonnox Oxford Limiter and maybe the Massey L2007 and 112dB Big Blue Limiter.

It’s easy to get lost in the jungle of plug-ins, and if you don’t know where to look it might take ages to find that killer compressor you’re looking for. Here are some companies that make killer products in my opinion.

After piling up on too many compressors once again, I decided to finally pick my poison so to speak. This is not the type of review where all contenders will get my recommendation. We’re doing this Highlander style, there can be only one. Maybe two. Three is a failure. Minimalism is my diet.

I have a lot of EQ’s, and way more have passed my plugin folder. I decided my plug-in folder had way too many in it so I… added even more! Why? Just to decide which not to keep. Follow me as I kick most of them to the unused folder.

Time for another Spotlight. This time it’s on the Ohm Force plug-ins. I’ll try to cover them all, besides Ohmicide which I reviewed when it was first released. If you dig them be sure to join in on the group buy before it’s too late! You’re already guaranteed 53% off and it can very well be more.

Samplers have been raining down on my desk recently so I think it’s only fair that we do a comparison of these instrument killers.

Celebrating the arrival of the latest two EZX kits – Claustrophobic and Twisted – I decided to run a Spotlight special on the three first EZXs. Here it is, Drumkit From Hell, Vintage Rock and Latin Percussion, that should be something for everyone, right?

Now that we have featured fourteen EQs totally in our series of Spotlights on EQs, as well as reviewed two in conjunction with these Spotlights, I think we should wrap this baby up with sort of an “ultimate conclusion”. There are of course many more EQs out there, but we can’t run Spotlight on EQs only, we have to make room for other stuff as well.

For part four of our Spotlight on EQs we’re going to review two more URS EQs, two that are very different than those we reviewed in part 3. This time we’ve also added an EQ of another brand, namely Sonalksis. Lets see how they stack up to the competition.
