NOTESNOTES
Tracker Mini’s limiter has the basic features of threshold which is where
limiting will kick in and also an attack / release envelope which shapes the
behaviour of the limiter function.
WT Smoother
The WT Smoother is a utility for converting normal audio samples into a
format more compatible with the wavetable play mode synth. Essentially
this optimises the interpolation between waves in a sample giving a
smoother transition across the sample. More details of the Wavetable synth
is provided in the instrument section.
While compression is normally seen as a master effect on many devices
and in DAW’s, Tracker Mini does not have a compressor in the master
chain and relies on the master limiter. A compressor does however exist in
the audio effects which can be rendered into the sample.
Limiter
A limiter is a similar utility to a compressor. In fact when high ratios are used
in a compressor, say 20:1, it is considered to be limiting. A limiter essentially
protects audio integrity and avoids excessive peaks by attenuating any
peaks above a dened threshold.
