Editing Limiter Settings
The limiter screen permits
access to all the output
limiters at once, along with
real time metering of all
input and output channels on
the selected device.
The threshold above which
limiting may take place is set
in the appropriate ‘Level’
text box at the top of the
output channel section.
Note that only 4 Series
units have the additional Clip
Limiter settings, and have
higher resolution metering.
If the ‘Attack’ and ‘Release’ text boxes are greyed out, it is because the ‘Automatic Time Constants’ function box is
enabled. This sets the attack time of the channels limiter dependant on the high pass filter frequency – the lower the
frequency, the slower the attack time of the limiter. Release times become fixed at sixteen times the attack time.
The drop-down lists display the set of available times for the limiter attack and release times as explained below.
The meters time constants will automatically assume the same behaviour as those of the limiter envelope to provide the
best representation of the power usage for that channel. Please consult the respective unit’s manual for details of the
‘Auto’ time constants.
The keyboard control options for this window are:
Accesses all level/attack/release parameters in turn per
channel.
Toggles Auto Time Constants button (when selected).
Either adjusts level up in 1dB steps, or adjusts
attack/release when selected.
Either adjusts level down in 1dB steps, or adjusts
attack/release when selected.
Select MAX value for Level/Attack/Release.
Select MIN value for Level/Attack/Release.
