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.
Threshold (-20 to 0 dB)
Determines the level where the limiter kicks in. Only signal levels above the set
threshold are processed.
Release (3 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, the plug-in automatically finds
the best release setting for the audio material.
Link
If this button is activated, Brickwall Limiter uses the channel with the highest level
to analyze the input signal. If the button is deactivated, each channel is analyzed
separately.
Detect Intersample Clipping
If this option is activated, Brickwall Limiter uses oversampling to detect and limit
signal levels between two samples to prevent distortion when converting digital
signals into analog signals.
NOTE
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.
Compressor
This plug-in reduces the dynamic range of the audio, making softer sounds louder or louder
sounds softer, or both.
