Use the limiter or compressor when inputting audio with large level differences.
The limiter restricts the peak components of an audio signal with large level
differences. It also compresses the sound exceeding a certain threshold volume
so that the threshold level is not exceeded, thus preventing excess outputs.
The compressor gently compresses the level of audio at and above the threshold
level, thus smoothing out an audio signal with large level differences.
