How loud is 1 sample ?

Yes, but thatās a delay.
Also, I was hoping to start transitioning my Steely Dan setlist to use the global rackspace with a master audio mixer and a limiter on each stereo pair but then I discovered that each instance of Loudmax adds 2% to CPU even when itās not doing anything. Thatās a lot!
Thatās strange, Iām not getting the same result on Windows.
Each instance does add 1.2ms of delay, not bad.
That is: Not acceptable.
It all depends on how much delay youāve accumulated to that point. 1.2ms isnāt perceivable on its own.

Well, ok, itās a very small constant delay and not a latency jitter of any badly programmed blockwise audio processing which would kill the groove. But it adds to the overall latency, a little bit of latency here, some small delay there, ā¦ not the kind of painting for me. Thatās why I stick with the TDR limiter. 0.3 ms in low-latency mode are definitely no reason to argue.

I will try the TDR
I use barricade by ToneBoosters. Itās amazing. All the toneboosters stuff is amazing. Like FabFilter but a fraction of the cost.

I picked up the Tokyo Dawn TDR limiter on sale yesterday. Very useful in my GP guitar rackspaces to even out the volume difference when I switch between my main guitarās humbucker and single coil pickups. Works like a charm. The pluginās meters are great. No unpleasant artifacts or problems using the low latency setting. I set up a switch widget to bypass the TDR with my Pacer foot controller for some A/B checks and was pleased that there was no negative impact on my sound when using the plugin. If Iād been blindfolded the only way Iād have known it was on or off would be the volume difference between the two pickups when the unit was bypassed. Pleased with the purchase.

Of course 
There is a zip file with a gpp_vst file for loading into the TDR Limiter from GP.

Any one try Blue cat audio Protector?
it claims zero latency
https://mcdsp.com/plugin-index/4040-retro/
another zero latency oneā¦
not enough money to test them all haha
trying the demo of this one of McDsp Retro limiter
McDsp plugin reports 34 samples latency 0.8 ms
not zero but low latency I guess.
Im am using this
If you confirm that they are zero latency plugins, add them here: Zero-latency plugins - list
Is it truly zero latency? Waves advertise zero on this one but McDsp Retro limiter was 0.8 latency was in reality despite advertised as zero.
At least 0 is reported back to Gig Performer and Ableton Live.
