D3 Limiter Controls
The Limiter icon, which represents a limiter
curve, acts as a three-state switch for enabling,
disabling, or bypassing the limiter. Its current
state is indicated by the icon’s color:
• White indicates enabled. In this state, the lim-
iter is active and using available DSP re-
sources.
• Black indicates disabled. In this state, the lim-
iter is not using DSP resources.
• Gray indicates bypassed. In this state, the lim-
iter is not active, but is still using available
DSP resources.
To disable the limiter:
■ Control-click (Macintosh) or Start key-click
(Windows) the icon. When the limiter is dis-
abled, the icon is black.
To re-enable the limiter:
■ Click the icon. When the limiter is enabled,
the icon is white.
To bypass the limiter:
■ Click the icon a second time. When the lim-
iter is bypassed, the icon is grey.
If you are using the Compressor/Limiter plug-in,
which allows you to use either the compressor
or the limiter (but not both simultaneously),
you must disable one module by Control-click-
ing the icon (Macintosh) or Start key-clicking it
(Windows) before you can enable the other.
Limit LED
When lit, the Limit LED indicates that limiting
is being applied. When unlit, limiting is not be-
ing applied.
Threshold
This sets the threshold level. Signals that exceed
this level will be limited. Signals that are below
it will be unaffected. A setting of 0 dB is equiva-
lent to no limiting. The range of this control is
from –24 dB to 0 dB.
