STEREO MASTERING LIMITER
This is a stereo limiter that is optimized for giving the sound a “produced” feel.
Parameters Values Notes
Ratio 1.0 : 1 … Inf : 1 Sets the signal compression ratio. Compression is
applied only when the signal level exceeds the
THRESHOLD value.
Threshold -40…0 [dB] Sets the level above which the compressor is applied.
Attack 1…100 [ms] Sets the attack time. A higher attack time will cause
the compression to be applied more slowly, and not
react fast enough for louder notes.
Release 1…100 [ms] Sets the release time. A higher release time will cause
the compression to be released more slowly; this may
cause the cue of some softer notes to be cut.
Gain - Inf, -38…+24 [dB] Sets the output gain. Use it to compensate for the
gain loss caused by compression.
Parameters Values Notes
Threshold -30…0 [dB] Sets the level above which the compressor is applied.
Out Ceiling -30…0 [dB] Sets the output gain. Use it to compensate for the
gain loss caused by compression.
Release 0.00…1000.00 [ms] Sets the release time.
