Limiter

The Limiter module makes sure that the output level never exceeds a set output level, to avoid clipping in following devices.



Band Settings



On/Off

Activates/Deactivates the corresponding section.

Balance



Mid/Side

Allow you to set the gain for the mid and side signal.

Solo Mid Signal/Solo Side Signal

Allow you to solo the mid or side signal.

Transients

If the Transients section is activated, you can set the following parameters:



ATT

Sets the gain of the attack phase of the signal for the corresponding band.

REL

Sets the gain of the release phase of the signal for the corresponding band.

Gain

Sets the output level for the corresponding band.

Harmonics

If the Harmonics section is activated, the Limiter module starts limiting the signal softly. At the same time, harmonics are generated, adding a warm, tube-like characteristic to the audio material.



2nd HARM/3rd HARM

Allow you to control the second and third harmonic independently.

Drive

Allows you to adjust the amount of gain boost for the signal to raise the amount of soft-clipping.

Brickwall

Due to its fast attack time, Brickwall Limiter can reduce even short audio level peaks without creating audible artifacts. The limiting amount is displayed between the input and the output meter.



Release

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

Oversample

If this option is activated, Brickwall Limiter detects and limits signal levels between two samples to prevent distortion when converting digital signals into analog signals.

Stereo Link

If this option is activated, Brickwall Limiter uses the channel with the highest level to analyze the input signal. If the button is deactivated, each channel is analyzed separately.

Output

Sets the output level.

Maximizer

Maximizer raises the loudness of audio material without the risk of clipping. The limiting amount is displayed between the input and the output meter.



Optimize

Determines the loudness of the signal.

Output

Sets the output level.
