“A useful, characterful compressor, the Talkback Limiter is no one-trick pony.”
“...a thick, punchy, vibey processor that oozes analogue-like charm...”
“...famous listen-mic compressor just got more tweakable.”

Punchy. Loud. Beautifully Destructive. Fun!
The Talkback Limiter is an aggressive, in your face limiter. Carefully modeled from the real thing, our Talkback Limiter has the character and anti-social tendencies that made it so popular for drums. We’ve added additional controls to make it much more versatile.
The Talkback limiter, as a drum processor, was discovered by accident in 1979 at a studio in England. It was quickly adopted by other artists and producers until it became the sound of drums, especially snare, for most of the 1980s.
The 80s ended, but the Talkback Limiter lived on as an essential processor, adding punch and thickness and a delicious in-your-face aggressiveness. It's on your favorite Grunge and Nu Metal albums, and on Metalcore productions today. But it also has a softer side. Applied gently, the Talkback Limiter is amazing on vocals and acoustic instruments.
You'll find the Talkback Limiter infinitely useful, whether you're using it to give a lead vocal a bit more presence in the mix, or trashing a drumset into a gritty sludge.

Man this thing rips on EVERYTHING I put it on. Unreal!
I Love the Korneff Plugins. The talk back Limiter is a beast! It has become a staple on my drum bus, There is nothing like it
It sounds ok, but it's marred by iLok nonsense.
I downloaded the trial, and bought it 5 minutes later!! This this is SICK!!
Dude!! This thing kills!!! Love it! Nice to pop it open and tweak it too! Great on drums obviously and got some cool vocal efx going with it. Excellent work!!! Thanks again for a very useful piece!!
Just spent 4 days using the TBL on a dedicated drum bus while I tracked a whole lotta drums for a client. We both loved it. Gave the drums the beef they need to help the drummer have fun while playing AND not hit so hard. Got some big tubby 70's dry drum sounds, played […]
This was one of those plugins I didn't know I needed, until I had it. The Dry/Wet control makes it ideal for Drum Shells, Bass, Vocals,
just Great ? ... other digital limiter does the job well. But this isn't just a limiter... sound like real hardware unit... pushing my material out off my speakers. Also nice to add a bit... You know... simple a bit more 😉
Unbelievable!!!
What can I say that hasn't been said so far...this thing is for real. I really, really, really didn't think I needed yet another compressor/limiter until I tried this out, but it really does give you that instant SLL TB sound with more flexibility, just as it says on the tin. My only suggestion would […]
