NOTES
3.9 Introduction to the Master Limiter.
A limiter is a dynamic processor typically located at or near the end of an
audio chain. A limiters purpose is to tame or control volume levels to avoid
clipping, retaining the audio level integrity and also to manage perceived
loudness. It does this by reducing the gain when a threshold is exceeded
essentially limiting the audio output level.
A series of limiter presets are available from the Master FX menu, selected
with [Shift] + [Master FX]. The presets also include options to use a sidechain
on the limiter. A sidechain uses an alternative audio signal to trigger the
limiter. The threshold is the only adjustable parameter in Play+ and is
controlled with the limiter parameter knob.
With limiter selected, Turn (Limiter) to adjust
the threshold in 1dB iterations. The range is
-92dB to 0dB.
