NOTES
10.5 Limiter
Tracker+ limiter operates as the rst insert effect in the master effect chain.
This is not a typical conguration as most applications have a limiter as the
last effect in a chain. Insert effects in Tracker+ route the entire, main audio
signal prior to the output.
What is a limiter?
A limiter is normally used at the end of an audio chain and is used to protect
the digital integrity by taming signals beyond a threshold, keeping levels
within a dened limit and usually avoid digital clipping. Limiters are useful to
develop a sounds level and increase the perceived loudness.
Tracker+ limiter also has a sidechain function. The Limiter threshold is
based on the main audio (sidechain off). Sidechain options will route an
alternative audio signal to trigger the gain reduction instead of the main
audio. This can be used creatively and triggered by a track or an external
audio signal
