8.1.3 Limiter
The Limiter does two things: firstly it ensures that the signal level stays below 0db, thus pre-
venting digital clipping. But it can also increase the overall perceived volume by reducing the
threshold. It is recommended to place the Limiter in a Master Module slot. Note that the Lim-
iter introduces a small latency.

Screen Element Description
Depth
Thrs This value determines the threshold where the Limiter kicks in. If you use
it to prevent your signal from clipping, leave it at 0 dB; if you want to
make your signal louder, dial the Knob to the left.

8.1.4 Maximizer
The Maximizer reduces the dynamics within the sound, making the overall sound louder. It is
comparable to the Limiter, but it specifically designed for increasing the perceived volume. For
an example, load the Project “Be Mine” from the Library: the Maximizer is used on the Master
FX here.
