Limit

Allows you to avoid clipping even at high levels. Open the pop-up menu to select between Brickwall Limiter, Maximizer, and Standard Limiter.

Brickwall Limiter

Brickwall Limiter ensures that the output level never exceeds a set limit.

Due to its fast attack time, Brickwall Limiter can reduce even short audio level peaks without creating audible artifacts. However, this channel strip module creates a latency of 1 ms.

Threshold (-20 to 0 dB)

Determines the level where the limiter kicks in. Only signal levels above the set threshold are processed.

Release (ms)

Sets the time after which the gain returns to the original level when the signal drops below the threshold. If Auto is activated, Brickwall Limiter automatically finds the best release setting for the audio material.

Gain Reduction LED

Displays the amount of gain reduction.

Maximizer

This channel strip module raises the loudness of audio material without the risk of clipping.

Optimize

Determines the loudness of the signal.

Output (-24 to 6 dB)

Determines the maximum output level. Set this to 0 dB to avoid clipping.

Gain Reduction LED

Displays the amount of gain reduction.

Mix (0 to 100)

Sets the level balance between the dry signal and the wet signal.

Standard Limiter

This channel strip module is designed to ensure that the output level does not exceed a set output level, to avoid clipping in following devices. Limiter can adjust and optimize the Release parameter automatically according to the audio material, or it can be set manually.

Input (-24 to 24 dB)

Adjusts the input gain.

Output (-24 to 6 dB)

Determines the maximum output level.

Gain Reduction LED

Displays the amount of gain reduction.

Release (0.1 to 1000 ms or Auto mode)

Sets the amount of time it takes for the gain to return to its original level. If Auto is activated, Limiter automatically finds the best release setting for the audio material.
