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.
