Release
Here, you can set the time required by the Limiter (after limiting) to release the effect.
Output Level
This simple volume control sets the desired maximum level of the Limiter’s output
signal.
Softknee
Activate the Softknee button to produce a softer transition from no limiting to full
limiting.
If switched off, the signal will be limited (following a linear curve) absolutely and
exactly when a level of 0 dB is reached.
If switched on, the transition to full limiting is non-linear, meaning softer. The limiting
of the signal will start before a level of 0 dB is reached. This will avoid distortion
artefacts occurring when strong limiting is used without softknee.
Graphic Display
The graphic display shows the reduction of the level (starting from 0 dB downwards).
Adaptive Limiter
With its Compressor (see “Compressor” on page 39), Multipressor (see “Multipressor” on
page 52) and Limiter (see “Limiter” on page 49) Logic features several extremely
versatile options for increasing perceived volumes. A further tool which can be used to
increase the perceived level of signals is the Adaptive Limiter plug-in. In the world of
analog processors, it could be more closely compared to a clipper, rounding and
smoothing only harsh level peaks, rather than to a VCA-type limiter. It allows you to
achieve maximum gain, without having to fear exceeding 0 dBFS. The Adaptive Limiter
may slightly color the sound. An effect most similar to an amplifier when driven hard.
