Input Level Meter in the Limiter Panel (Plug-in Strip)
In the Plug-in Strip, the Limiter panel offers an extra feature not available in the Control area:
The Threshold fader (corresponding to the Threshold parameter of the Main page in the Control
area) provides a  level meter for  visual monitoring of  the input  level. By comparing  this input
level with the position of the Threshold fader, you can easily see which parts of the signal will
be limited, and adjust the Threshold fader accordingly.
14.1.5 Maximizer
 
The Maximizer reduces the dynamics within the sound, making the overall sound louder. It is
similar to the Limiter, but it is specifically designed for increasing the perceived volume.
If  this  effect  is  used  in  a  Sound  or  a  Group,  it  also  provides  a  Side-Chain  Input  page  (in  the
Control area and on your controller).
