Brickwall Limiter

Brickwall Limiter ensures that the output level never exceeds a set limit. Due to its fast

attack time, Brickwall Limiter can reduce even short audio level peaks without creating

audible artifacts. However, this plug-in creates a latency of 1ms. Brickwall Limiter

features separate meters for input, output, and the amount of limiting. Position this

plug-in at the end of the signal chain, before dithering.

The following parameters are available:

Ö Brickwall Limiter is designed for the reduction of occasional peaks in the signal. If the

Gain Reduction meter indicates constant limiting, try raising the threshold or lowering

the overall level of the input signal.

Parameter Description

Threshold

(-20 to 0 dB)

Only signal levels above the set threshold are processed.

Release

(10 to 1000 ms or

Auto mode)

Sets the time after which the gain returns to the original level when the

signal drops below the threshold. If the Auto button is activated,

Brickwall Limiter automatically finds the optimal release setting,

depending on the audio material.

Link button If this button is activated, Brickwall Limiter uses the channel with the

highest level to analyze the input signal. If the Link button is

deactivated, each channel is analyzed separately.

Detect

Intersample

Clipping

In this mode, Brickwall Limiter detects and limits signal levels between

two samples to prevent distortion when converting digital signals to

analog.
