P08
Limiter (A)
48
P08 is a program in which the compressor is used as a peak limiter.
A distortion-free peak limiter is obtained when this compressor is used instead of the
limiter in the later stage of an algorithm. Set the threshold (compressor threshold) level
according to the level you wish to limit.
The compressor attack is set to 0.1 [msec] (maximum) so as to trace the peak value of
waveforms.
The soft knee level is maximized to reduce the unnaturalness that is caused by a sudden
change in gain reduction near the threshold level.
The compressor ratio is set to ∞:1. However, the peak value of actual output waveforms
instantaneously goes higher than the set threshold level by 2 or 3 [dB] when a sudden
change in level occurs. To completely suppress the peak value, set the threshold level
lower than the limit level by 2 to 3 [dB].
In addition to this setting, the peak value can be set using a side equalizer so that it reacts
on specific frequencies or not.
