The limiter is an indispendable tool in modern mastering and mixing, and there are a lot of different flavors available on the market today. Some limiters try to be as transparent and 'safe' as possible, while others are designed to just go loud. A specific limiter may be suited for rock music, while another one will work best on electronic dance tunes.
FabFilter Pro-L is a professional brickwall limiter, that combines all these flavors and qualities in one plug-in, making it suitable for any type of music/audio.
