CUBASE LE Effects Parameters

Limiter section

Limiter is designed to ensure that the output level never exceeds a cer-

tain set output level, to avoid clipping in following devices. Conventional

limiters usually require very accurate setting up of the attack and release

parameters, to totally avoid the possibility of the output level going be-

yond the set threshold level. Limiter adjusts and optimizes these param-

eters automatically, according to the audio material. You can also adjust

the Release parameter manually. The available parameters are the fol-

lowing:

Routing section

In the Routing section you can set the signal flow order for the three

processors. Changing the order of the processors can produce differ-

ent results, and the available options allow you to quickly compare what

works best for a given situation. Beside each processor label is a num-

ber. These numbers are used to represent the signal flow options

shown in the Routing section. There are three routing options:

• 1-2-3 (Compress-Gate-Limit)

• 2-1-3 (Gate-Compress-Limit)

• 1-3-2 (Compress-Limit-Gate)

Parameter Values Description

Threshold -12 - 0dB This setting determines the maximum output level.

Signal levels above the set threshold are affected,

but signal levels below are left unaffected.

Release 10-1000ms or

“Auto mode”

This parameter sets the amount of time it takes for

the gain to return to its original level when the sig-

nal drops below the threshold level. If the “Auto”

button is activated, Limiter will automatically find an

optimal release setting that varies depending on

the audio program material.
