hey guys i have just started using a limiter instead of a compressor on some of my channels. i have found it to be easier to adjust then a compressor and sounding a bit better too. But i was wondering if there are any problems i may run into. i do remember hearing that using a limiter as a compressor can have negetive side effects?. hopefully someone can shed a bit of light on the subject for me .
thanks

i use the reason limiter alot too on each channel infact, but usualy after eqing, compression and everything. it makes the mixing somehow easier caus each channel seems more "solid" somehow staying at one level. cant realy tell u any good info tho.

hahahah i have been doing the exact same thing . not on every channel though. i inda figured why even bother with the compressor when the limiter can bassically do the same thing. might be wrong though .??? hahah

on bassline, kick and other main elements i use multiple of both compressors and the limiter, eq before and after with both eq devices to add alot of fake sound. then some sidechaining, then the limiter just so i know it never gets out of controll somehow. this way i avoid fucked up mastering.
example:


hey so u use reason too? what kinda music u make?

off topic question,
I see a lot of people posting screenshots of their computers and never saw a name for what they use to do it.

So I googled and found "my screen recorder", is this what most people use?

And can I do videos to? Thanks!

uplifting all the way bro, sometimes more progressive though but almost always uplifting. what about you?

i dont know anymore. i started with "normal"/uplifting trance then techtrance and techno, then suddenly jumped on some psy-influented shit and now im trying to keep it progressive but its hard. also been playing with acid and minimal and stuff without success. if u use v4 we could probably try collabing or something?
