Limiter

The input and output meters indicate the level before and after the Limiter. The gain reduction meter in the middle indicates the current attenuation of the level. The peak level is shown below each meter. To reset the peak level, click the value field.

Threshold

Determines the level where the limiter kicks in. Only signal levels above the set threshold are processed.

Make-Up

Raises the overall level of the sound. This can become necessary if too much gain reduction is introduced. You can see the amount of gain reduction in the gain reduction meter.

Attack

Determines how fast the effect reacts to sounds that exceed the threshold. The longer the Attack time, the longer it takes to reduce the gain. With longer Attack times, the onset of sounds exceeding the threshold passes through unprocessed.

Release

Sets the time after which the gain returns to the original level when the signal drops below the threshold.

Mix

Sets the ratio between the dry and the wet signal.

If Mix is set to 0%, only the wet effect signal is heard. If Mix is set to 100%, the output is composed in equal parts of the effect signal and the dry sound.
