Limiter; Maximizer - Native Instruments MASCHINE MIKRO MK2 Manual

8.1.4

Limiter

The Limiter does two things: firstly it ensures that the signal level stays below 0 dB, thus pre-
venting digital clipping. But it can also increase the overall perceived volume by reducing the
threshold. It is recommended to place the Limiter in a Master Module slot. However, please
note that the Limiter introduces a small latency.

Maximizer

The Maximizer reduces the dynamics within the sound, making the overall sound louder. It is
comparable to the Limiter, but it specifically designed for increasing the perceived volume. For
example, load the Project "Be Mine" from the MASCHINE Library: the Maximizer is used on
the Master effect here.
Description
This value determines the threshold where the Limiter kicks in. If you use
it to prevent your signal from clipping, leave it at 0 dB; if you want to
make your signal louder, dial the Knob to the left.
