Limiter DRC Section
DRC stands for Dynamic Release Compensation. In short, this means the release time of the limiter is altered
depending on the dynamic nature of the signal routed through the processor.

Release Acceleration or Modification Display
Shows a curve which illustrates the relationship between the change in dynamics of the input signal and the vari-
ation of the release time. The curve can be adapted between linear and power function characteristics (see also
the description of the
Curve Control parameter). During playback the display will also show a small red ball mov-
ing along the curve. This shows the range the algorithm is working in.
Gain reduction bargraph
Displays the gain reduction of the limiter while the DRC circuit is active. The scale is fixed at 6 dB.
Dynamics bargraph
Displays the dynamics of the input signal, which is the basis for the DRC algorithm.
Velocity control
Determines the speed of the DRC algorithm. The lower the value, the faster the algorithm reacts to changes of the
dynamics of the signal and the more it reacts to dynamics the more the release time will remain constant.
Offset control
This parameter basically sets the minimum release time. In this sense the release control of the limiter defines the
maximum release time, so the release time determined by the DRC algorithm will vary between these two times.
Curve control
This parameter controls the characteristics of the relationship between the dynamics of the signal and the result-
ing release time
