Limiter
True to its name, a Limiter sets the upper dynamic
range of your signal and prevents the source from
exceeding it by "limiting" it to that threshold. If
you're thinking that sounds a lot like what we just
told you a compressor does, you're catching on! A
limiter is different from a compressor in a very crit-
ical way: Unlike a compressor, which works gradu-
ally to reduce the signal, the limiter prevents
virtually any increase in gain at the upper end of the
dynamic range. In other words, you can try to get as
loud as you want, but the limiter is going to stop that
volume spike like a brick wall.
Choose between Low, Moderate, and High. Low
will provide the least amount of limiting, High will
provide the most.
