Alternative to Waves VST plugins

I'm a video producer that's been using Vegas since the Sony days and for the most part enjoy using the program. I'm also a fan of Waves VST plugins and have a collection. Unfortunately they dont work well in Vegas Pro 19. The main Waves plugin I like to use is the L1+ Ultramaximiser Peak Limiter. I love this plugin! I can add it in Vegas but it causes to playback to be out of sync and stuttery. It renders out OK. What's a decent limiter similar to the L1 that plays nicely with Vegas Pro? What other audio plugins are people using they find beneficial?

Try 20 as it has a new VST engine.

I mainly use iZotope Nectar 3 for voice.

Thanks for that Roger. Are you running 20? How are you finding the vst perfomance?

I truthfully haven't tested it much yet as initial builds of 20 worked poorly with iZotope VSTs. I did file bug reports and continued to do audio work in 19.

There is a very new update to 20 which seems to have fixed issues with it but I need more time to confirm. I'd suggest the trial of 20 to see how it works with the VSTs you use. If you do see issues it would be good to report to the developers so we can get them fixed.
