Using the limiter
5. Use e to select On/Off , and
press E.
6. Use e to select the setting,
and press e.
Setting value Explanation
Off This disables the limiter.
On (Normal) This applies an ordinary limiter. The ratio is 20:1.
On (Advanced)
By detecting the maximum level in advance, this optimized
limiter prevents distortion even more than ordinary limiter
operation. The ratio is ∞:1, providing increased internal
headroom.
NOTE
When set to On (Advanced), the input latency of the F
increases 1 ms. When monitoring sounds being recorded with a
mic in real-time, increased latency can cause interference between
sound transmitted through the air from the source and the delayed
monitored sound, possibly making accurate monitoring of the
sounds difficult.
