FabFilter Pro-L 2 ships with eight limiter Styles, and choosing the right one makes the difference between a clean master and one that sounds pushed too far. In this video we put just a few of these so you can hear what each one actually does.
Pro-L 2 has been the go-to mastering limiter for many engineers since 2017, thanks to its true-peak limiting, comprehensive metering, and eight tuned algorithms. We walk through how each Style behaves on three very different programme styles, and show how Pro-L 2's Unity Gain button lets you audition extreme limiting to hear the character of each algorithm before backing off to your target loudness. Along the way we cover the display options that make it easier to read what the limiter is doing to your mix.
Whether you are researching FabFilter Pro-L 2, comparing mastering limiter plugins, or trying to decide whether to use Transparent or Allround on your next master, this is a practical, side-by-side walkthrough rather than a spec-sheet read.
Note that YouTube applies dynamic processing of its own that may change the sound of limiting used.
