FAQ

What is the difference between a limiter and a compressor?

A limiter is a compressor with a very high ratio (usually 10:1 or higher) and a fast attack time. It acts as a hard ceiling for volume, whereas a compressor gently reduces volume above a threshold.

Why use a limiter?

To make your track as loud as possible without digital distortion (clipping), which can sound harsh and unpleasant.
