The Limiter module prevents clipping by ensuring that the output level does not exceed a set value.

Band Settings

On/Off

Activates/Deactivates the corresponding section.

Harmonics

With the Harmonics section 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.

Drive

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

Gain

Sets the degree of attenuation.

Brickwall

Thanks 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; that is, the signal drops below the threshold. With Auto Release activated, the plug-in automatically identifies the best release setting for the audio material.

Output

Sets the output level.

Maximizer

Maximizer raises the loudness of audio material without any 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.
