We know (everybody knows?) that there are free plugins "Molot" compressor and "Limiter№6" by vladgsound (aka Vladislav Goncharov, who works as well with Tokyo Dawn Labs (Proximity, TDR VoS SlickEQ with Variety of Sound, TDR Kotelnikov, TDR Nova (brand-new re-released Vlad's Nova-67P), TDR Ultrasonic Filter), only discontinued and free "TDR Feedback Compressor" I / II were made without Vladislav Goncharov, but you can find this compressor brilliant-sounding and professional for mixing tasks as well as mastering). TDR Nova, TDR Kotelnikov, TDR VoS SlickEQ go for professional mixing/mastering tasks, and they are in 2 versions: free Standard Edition and Gentleman's Edition which is extended. Proximity is for creative and mixing stuff, free as well. TDR Ultrasonic Filter is for ultrasound filtering to decrease aliasing and to make the sound much cleaner and a bit warmer.
So, LimiterNo6 is famous by its cleanest aggressiveness, high loudness, flexibility and high-quality, and it is free. It combines compression, limiting/maximizing, clipping. A lot of features...Vlad's stuff can be downloaded from his site https://vladgsound.wordpress.com, as well as there are a lot excellent articles, videos and many more things.
But I found this:

[...] LimiterNo7 is expected in the next year. I slowly porting LimiterNo6 to Tokyo Dawn Labs framework but it’s some kind of background process for me…


in comments you can see it by yo'self

from gearslutz:
The Limiter6 reissue under Tokyo Dawn Labs label is planned in the 1st half of this year (including aax support).
The functionality is 99% the same. Just higher quality resamplers, higher oversampling modes and some small additions.


20 April 2016: ...we’re preparing reissue of Limiter6 (with AAX support, variable modules order and few new features). Stay tuned!

12-13 May 2016: TDR SlickEQ-M (Mastering Edition) has been released!

Both will be superb, Vlad, Fabien and Herbert (I'm presuming Herbert is involved with SlickEQ M edition) are first class gentlemen and as good as it gets with regards to mastering the black arts of DSP

Great news, Cheers for the head's up to you all as well as best regards

TDR SlickEQ-M (Mastering Edition) has been released by Tokyo Dawn Labs (without Variety Of Sound).

Here is a post on AudioSex dedicated to this plugin.

 

Apr 20, 2016. Software Section : Is Tokyo Dawn Labs cooking something new?

 

No news about LimterN6 reissue, but soon will be update for Nova/SlickEQ/Kotelnikov plugins

FabienTDR (posted 12.06.2016): The forthcoming maintenance update will add advanced matching features to both SlickEQ M and SlickEQ GE (including matching with a user defined reference curve). The image shows how both products match the same signal.



The Kotelnikov and Nova families will also see some improvements such as custom "snapmap" support. Kotelnikov GE in particular will feature a new INERTIA timing mode. More soon! [...] we're messing with the last quality control and documentation todos and will release the update as soon all lights are green. I can't give you a realistic release date now, but be assured that we generally don't announce announcements.
..It's really just a matter of days..

Among these new headline features and improvements there will be some other unmentioned changes, fixes, imprvmnts.
Possibly, Limiter is still in working progress, quality control, testing period...

 

Limiter °6 already kills it, °7 will be over the top. I wonder if it too will be free, shareware or at a price point that belays it's evident worth? Any way I look at it, this stuff defines WOW.

FabienTDR, vladg say it is closer to the new Limiter N6 release and TDR SlickEQ M update. Then all other products will get maintenance update. As well as TDR "super kotelnikov" (without official name yet) is still in "work in progress" status.

Can't wait, guys! Too long and a lot of promises since the mid/end of 2015. They promised new limiter to be released in the earliest 2016, but it is 2017 February now... Waaaait..

Second post today in this thread is about new Limiter No6 details, what is under the hood.
By FabienTDR, several hours ago:

I can't post screenshots, as we're still fine tuning the appearance.

It's a full rework of Vlad's limiter 6, the core concept is essentially the same but we both reworked the UI and routing (free module order, M/S and dry wet per module), as well as the DSP. We also added a whole new module housing a full featured peak and EBU compliant loudness meter.

You can move and hide individual modules, and the UI size will adapt (within limits).

All modules have been modernized. We added various details, the HF limiter for example got a new relative mode (threshold free). Plus much more of course. Certain modules have a continuously variable full-band to split-band control.

All the anti aliasing trickery known from our other products is there, too. And equal loudness workflows + delta monitoring of course.

 

Cool! Can you post the link to that thread? Thanks!

I love the Chris Gala articles - his sensibilities are right up my alley. Curious, skeptical, and at all times anti-dogma . . . art before perfection. Oddly though, I'm getting 404's with all of your specific Mix Trick links . . .

 

FabienTDR:
We started beta testing the new TDR limiter 6 GE. We'll release Jan Ohlhorst's (@karumba) DeEdger before, though.

 

and...
i'm hyped :D
