Old fashioned limiter. Display not working from new.
JCP 01 10.02.2021
I respect TC's products and have used them successfully for over 25 years. The Brickwall HD is a great concept and for me, the tactile and effortless hardware integration is very valuable, but there are three issues with this product as it currently stands, 1. The lack in Q.C. My unit was faulty and I have understood that several other users have experienced the same issue. 2. The hardware controller is too much like a toy. The buttons have no sense of authority and the display (when it actually works) have a lot of bleed and is therefore hard to read. The whole unit is also simply too small. 3. The actual limiter I found close to unusable as a mastering limiter on 90% of the material I've tried it on. Sonically it's nice and warm and the soft clipping feature handles the audio nicely when used in moderation, but the long release times on the limiter means that even at 1dB gain reduction you can hear it pumping. The algorithms used supposedly share genetics with the System 6000, but to my ears that is a many many branches away on the family tree. It is of course possible that future updates will improve this plugin and thus provide users with an adequate tool that can compete with likes of Ozone and PSP, but right now, it's a gimmick and have therefore no place in a professional studio.

The tc plugins are a bit harder on the cpu compared to other tools with the same features.
But I do love how this one sound. I mainly do Technomusic.
Did my 1st master with this and it sounded pretty different than any other Limiter i used. Gives like an instant Radio ready sound also the feature of getting the right Lufs is pretty handy in combination with the Clarity you can rock the perfect levels you need. I do recommend this one.

Excellent Limiteur

J'utilise ce limiteur sur tout: Drum, Mix, Mastering
Il est transparent et conserve les transients mieux que mon vieux limitless, je l'ai aussi testé contre le limiteur de Izotope, la même chose le HD-DT est celui qui maintient dans mes écoutes le mieux les dynamiques et la clarté.
L'effet de pompage peut se ressentir légèrement lorsque le limiteurs est poussé à fond et le fait d'avoir inclus le clipper dans le HD-DT en fait un outil redoutable, ce dernier permet de détendre le limiteur, de gagner en volume tout en conservant l'intégrité global du son.
La possibilité de définir un LUFS et de laisser le limiteur faire le travail pour vous est un game changer! Pourquoi tout les limiteurs n'ont pas cette fonction?
Le contrôleur du fait de sa simplicité permet de porté des modifications les yeux fermé et de ne se concentrer que sur le son.
A vrai dire Je ne peux plus m'en passer
Un point que je demanderais à TC pour ce limiteur c'est de nous donner la possibilité d'aller plus loin dans la modification de la Release
Je suis hyper convaincus et je pense me pencher sur d'autre produits TC de ce style à l'avenir.
