Can someone explain the basics or recommend where to learn more? Any context will do, this is not something exclusive to the Play (although the Play has specific Limiter types but that’s another story.)
Hey, the limiter is there to produce some pleasant effects if you set it in a specific way. For example, you can set which channel will be the source of a ducking effect (side chain) in the Master FX/Limiter menu. Then when set, lowering the limiter dB will produce this ducking effect according to the information in the set channel. Try it out, it’s fun. The limiter can also produce a subtle effect of gluing all your tracks together, try one of the presets in the Master FX menu and then lower the threshold slowly until everything just sounds a bit more punchy and tighter.
Thanks iso. Besides sidechaining kicks, I’d love some more guidance on this feature at some point. Not how to use this “strategically” besides the ducking effect, if there is anymore strategy to it……
