Polyend Tracker+ Manual
NOTES
While compression is normally seen as a master effect on many devices
and in DAW’s, Tracker+ 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 dened threshold.
