Controls Overview
Control knobs for the Precision Limiter behave the same way as all UAD plug-
ins. Input, Output, and Release values can be modified with text entry. See
“Text Entry” on page 79 for more information.
The Precision Limiter introduced a new control style for UAD plug-ins. For the
Mode, Meter, Scale, and Clear parameters, click the parameter label, the
value text, or the LED to toggle between available values.
Precision Limiter Controls
Input The Input knob controls the signal level that is input into the limiter. Increasing
the input will result in more limiting as the input signal exceeds 0dB.
The default value is 0dB. The available range is –6dB to 24dB.
Output The Output knob determines the maximum level at the output of the plug-in.
This control does not affect the actual limiting.
The Precision Limiter always limits the signal to 0dB internally, and the actual
output is set by attenuating this internal level. Likewise, the input control can
drive the signal over 0dB to get more limiting.
If the Precision Limiter is the last processor in the signal path when mixing
down to disk (bouncing), the Output value will be the level of the highest peak
in the resultant audio file.
The default value is –0.10dB. The available range is from –12dB to 0dB.
Non-zero values are always negative, therefore during text entry operations
positive or negative values may be entered and the result will be negative.
