8.2 Limiter Modules
The transparent and upsampling True-Peak Limiter module is placed at the end of the processing chain, but before the Export section. The Limiter is not added to the
Modules area, but appears in the Limiter Module area. There can only be one Limiter module in operation.
There are two main types of limiter modules available in the Library:
• Master Limiters (ML)
• Loudness Limiters (LL)
The conventional Master Limiter has Input Gain and Output Trim (output gain). Alternatively, you can choose the all-new Loudness Limiter module, which, based
on the background analysis, automatically sets the Limiter Input gain and threshold to hit a denable full track loudness level, for example to t modern streaming
services like iTunes.
Both Limiter types include a exible and delicate SoftClipper. There are three available options from soft, smooth, and hard, and the Amount control sets how much
peak reduction the SoftClipper will do at its maximum across the full track.
The example below is one of the Master Limiter modules:
The Master Limiter controls are as follows:
• SoftClipper On/O
• SoftClipper Type, selections Soft/Smooth/Hard
• SoftClipper Amount, range 0.0 to 5.0 dB
• Limiter Gain, range 0.0 dB to +15.0 dB
• Output Trim Level, range –5.0 dB to 0.0 dB
• Auto Release, On/O
• Release, 20 ms to 1000 ms
• Limiter Prole: selections Electrical/Acoustic/Classical
