LoudMax is a free loudness maximizer effect plug-in for Mac & Windows.
LoudMax is described as a maximizer with a transparent sound, designed to retain the original character of the music as much as possible even at high compression levels.
New In LoudMax V1.09
- LoudMax VST Plugin ported to Mac OS X. Audio Unit version implemented using Symbiosis from NuEdge Development. Support for Intel Mac and Power PC.
- Winamp Plugin now supports 5.1 Surround. Built-in stereo overdrive protection to avoid distortions in a subsequent stereo downmix.

I only had the chance to test it quickly yet but it pumps considerably less than the internal Limiter of Ableton Live and sounds a bit clearer. There are practically no parameters and I'm pretty sure that in detail it can't compete against Voxengo Elephant etc. – but for a free brickwall limiter / loudness maximizer I find it really nice!

I use ozone 4 and it seems pretty loud and probably better since it's not free
