Audio Limiter Explained | Sound Advice
Ever wondered about the difference between compressors and limiters? In this video, we break down the key distinctions. Both compressors and limiters reduce signal volume, but their goals differ. Limiters aim to prevent clipping by maintaining a consistent output level, even with fluctuating input signals. Learn about the high ratios used in limiters and how they differ from compressors. Discover the four essential controls (threshold, ratio, attack, and release) found in limiters and how they function. We'll also discuss the practical applications of limiters in live sound, such as protecting speakers and amplifiers from overload.
