I think the Kratos 2 is a 'cleaner' limiter that can be pushed harder than an L2, personally. It's old tech, they've made LOTS of money from it, and it is very long in the tooth. The L2 shouldn't cost more than $29.99 if you were to ask me. I've always found that MClass is on a par if not better than L2. Keep in mind too that the L2, despite its high quality, is getting pretty long in the tooth now, so it shouldn't just be thought of as 'it's really expensive, so it must be better'. However the MClass will always to a decent job Lowlifebware wrote:I tend to use the MClass as a 2nd choice because I now use Ozone Maximiser.

My personal favorite Limiter in the Reason world, is the Kratos 2 RE. I've even said before I think Reason needs a simple Limiter like an L2 it's been called the 'Maximiser' too long, and actually has had a marked affect on the Reason users crowd as far as how quickly they've been able to grasp the concept of what limiting is because of the nomenclature. I too have hundreds of hours using a good ol' L2. To lower the L2 threshold, with the maximizer you actually have to crank the input up until you reach your desired Gain Reduction and sound.Д«ravo = Very well explained. The attack works as in a compressor, try all an judge what sounds better for your material The release is the same as in L2 but only with 3 settings FAST, SLOW, and Auto that I think it is similar setting as ARC in L2. I usually turn Soft Clipping on and leave it as default, but you should try and find what suit you best, I think it adds saturation. Set the output to your target value - the Ceiling in L2
