It’s back on sale again at AudioDeluxe for $19
It’s back on sale at AudioDeluxe for $9.99 this time
Thanks, just bought it for testing. ![]()
It’s a good one. Tokyo Dawn make some mighty fine plugins. $9.99 for the GE editions is too good of a deal to pass up. I’ve been using Kotelnikov GE and Limiter GE for some time. Just picked up Molot GE for $9.99. ![]()
Would this limiter be better than audio fuse labs vcs-1?
I tried many many zero-latency and low-latency compressors/limiters over the years, and TDR was the best IMHO.
Don’t know about this one.
Thanks for the response … next time when it’s in sale, I will keep my eyes open ![]()
Just be aware (on my Windows 10 machine at least) with a new gig file and one totally empty rackspace it uses 29% CPU with absolutely no wiring or incoming signals.


Where as VCS-1 has a much lower impact

There is an economy mode and also a low latency mode. These might help
For me:
Eco: 6% CPU
Precise: 11%
Insane: 22%
Low Latency: 3%
For live use, you’d probably be using the Low Latency mode, so not a CPU hog.
Insane, if you ever “needed” it, would almost certainly be limited to the final Mastering stage [pun intended].
Pretty much own every major channelstrip and limtier plugin on the market (I’m a senior post mixer and have that luxury
) and when shooting-out each of them for my GigPerformer rig (workflow, cpu efficiency, transparency etc) , ended up deciding to use both VCS-1 and LimiterGE in every gig file:
One VCS-1 strip on EACH of my instruments in a local rackspace ( up to six vst instrument “slots”) AND
a single Limiter GE on my final “to front-of-house” for safety in my GLOBAL rack. Running in LOW LATENCY mode!!
The VCS’s compressor is quite good and very flexible. (eg you can sidechain to have the lower notes of, say a piano vst, compressor more (ie thin out) so that you stay out of a bass player’s range). The limiter in VCS-1 is awesome, but set really high (close to digital 0) and is not anywhere close to a brickwall “Safety” limiter (timing is tide to the compressor’s settings), so the LimtierGE is a better choice for me for output… only use the highfreq limtier, the clipper and the peak limiter.
Hope this helps!

It is now.
Tokyo Dawn Labs TDR Limiter 6 GE on sale - Plugins - Gig Performer Community
Think it was until the 14th or 21th of April, but can’t find it just now.
I’m a senior poor mixer
and I only own one channel strip and one limiter plugin : VCS-1 and TDR Limiter 6 GE. I seems that I certainly have been well advised by our GP community!

Typing on phone.
Thanks all for your replies.
I’m really consider buying tdr limiter as now it’s 19 euro and seems to be a good addition with vcs-1.
I went for it just to have a limiter I am comfortable with in case decide to use one.
