BRICKWALLHD User Manual
7.1.7 Soft Clip/Type
Selecting the Soft Clip/Type button will assign Soft Clip Threshold to the left
encoder, and Soft Clip Type to the right encoder.
See the details below for the Loudness Limiter Set Gain procedure using the
Desktop Controller.
7.1.8 Preset
Press the Preset button to enable preset browsing using the encoders. Either of
the encoders will browse to new presets, and while browsing, the Preset LED
will blink. Once a desired preset number is reached, the preset can be loaded by
pressing the Preset button again, and the button LED stops blinking. A modified
(edited) preset is marked "xx." in the module display.
Note: It is possible to browse all the presets, or to browse just the favorite presets
only. The selection of which of these approaches to use, is done in the plugin.
7.2 Set Gain procedure using the optional
Desktop Controller
With Loudness Limiter selected, holding Loudness Limiter (labeled Loudn) will
start the Set Gain procedure. This will automatically set the Limiter Gain behind
the scenes, based on the audio content and your Loudness Target.
1. Make sure you have set the Target Loudness level, say -15 LUFS. The Spotify/
Apple/AES Stream texts will individually light up if your Loudness target
is appropriate for these platforms. Note that these recommendations are
bound to change now and then. To see the latest evolvement, please refer to

2. Start DAW playback of your project or track, and hold Loudness Limiter to let
BRICKWALL HD listen to the content. The Loudness Limiter button will blink
while the text display reads LIST. (Listening) and shows the accumulated
Loudness value while sampling the content. The Loudness bar in the display
will also show the accumulated Loudness value. The LED bar increases 1 LED
per second during Listening.
3. When the Loudness measurement in the display is not evolving anymore, or
when the plug-in reads "Sample OK" (when this happens the LED bar on the
Desktop Controller will not blink anymore), you may press Loudness Limiter
to stop listening. The display will flash "DONE".
4. Now, the measured input loudness and the adjusted Target Loudness are
used to set the Gain behind the scenes, which will result in the Limiter
working to aim for the Target Loudness.
Please note:
• •
We recommend that you let the BRICKWALL HD listen to multiple
passages, especially the loudest in your track, to help the BRICKWALL
HD "hit the target" optimally
• •
The BRICKWALL HD Desktop Controller will show different messages if
the Set Gain-feature is not able to find appropriate settings due to the
sample being too short, too low audio level, no audio detected etc.
