| I'm using Izotope Alloy2 and Ozone. Alloy is intended for mixing purposes and has a limiter. Ozone is intended for mastering and has a maximizer. Is there any actual difference between these two, or is this just marketing/jargon? |

| No difference, except with a maximiser you could say it increases the output gain after to just below clipping, whereas a limiter is just a compressor with an infinite ratio. |

| I've never understood why they put out so similar plugins. Have you already bought the plugin? Check out pspaudioware.com there might be something you are interested also |

| maximizer is not just restricted to compression/limiting which is generally why they use it. Some add harmonic content to do the job ie bbe and some are just straight up limiters. |
