A must have for live keyboardists

I use this live on stage with my AUs. A big issue with iOS music is that the levels are EVERYWHERE. I initially was using the TB compressor to reign in the dynamic range, but barricade is insanely better suited to this task.

PROS:
-Low dsp (as long as you don’t use the built in compressor)
-Boost the gain towards the ceiling at -1 dbfs and you’ll be able to bring up those super quiet piano apps (cough*Korg*cough). Seriously, boost the gain on the Ivory Pianos inside module and they come to life LIVE — not just on playback in a daw.
-place Barricade on a bus to make certain your whacky synth app that sometimes glitches doesn’t blow some speakers
-the audition capability is great to make sure you aren’t over limiting, or getting rid of part of the sound you’d like to keep
-SATURATION. Most of you probably don’t even realize there’s multiple saturation algorithms that work on an adjustable threshold. The mixer, mild, and tape algorithms work really well to contain the digital artifacts in some synths, or grunge up the tone to get a little lower-fi
-virtually no latency. I play live at 64 samples. Pianos, clav, b3, synths, etc. This limiter, unlike most of the others on iOS, does not affect playability.
-an actual manual

CONS:
-Graph layout is a little odd, not particularly intuitive, and looks fuzzy on AUv3 (standalone is clear). Do read the manual to do anything more advanced than brick wall limiting.

Awesome stuff ToneBoosters!

FINALLY, a plug in that does the job

Best compressor I’ve used for IOS, best limiter. Finally a plug in that functions like it should. Well worth $13
