When to use a COMPRESSOR VS LIMITER

A limiter would be used in situations where you want to prevent the volume from going over a certain threshold, such as on a master track.

A compressor, on the other hand, would be used when you want to reduce the dynamic range of a track, but still, allow some volume to go over the threshold.

This is because a limiter acts like a "brick wall," preventing anything from surpassing the threshold, while a compressor allows volume to go over the threshold, but decreases it by a specified amount.

This means that a limiter provides a more strict and reliable way of controlling volume, while a compressor provides more control over the dynamic range of a track!
