I like the limiter as well, I’ve compared it against quite a few and for my tracks it remains in my top 2 to 3 limiters.
You can add some subtle or extreme distortion with the exciter if you wish, and you get all types of eq curves to provide multiple eq characters. Sometimes you want your effects to have a specific character and sometimes you want them to be super clean, luckily with Alloy 2, you can do both. It’s an effect, so it’s “sound” is definitely going to depend on what you’re trying to do. You can go as deep or shallow as you wish, whether you want to start with presets or start from scratch.Īs you know, when it comes to FX I like to keep it simple yet powerful, and most importantly I want it to sound good.Īlloy is like the “general use” version of Ozone, meaning, where Ozone is made for mastering, Alloy 2 is made to throw on every track without bringing your computer to a grinding hault!
It has a very clean and intuitive interface which makes it very easy to tweak and learn how to use. You get and eq, 2 dynamics modules, a transient shaper, exciter, de-esser, and a limiter. Think of it as a channel strip, a plugin that contains multiple essential mixing tools in one interface. Back with a new review for you, today I’m checking out Alloy 2 from iZotope
