It prevents input monosignal from raising over the specified <b>Threshold</b>. Additional sidechain inputs are provided for better use.</p> <p><u>Attention:</u> this plugin implements set of limiting modes, most of them are iterative. That means that CPU load may be not stable, in other words: the more work should be done, the more CPU resources will be used. Beware from extreme settings.</p> <p>The short description how does the limiter work can be explained with this iterative algorithm:</p> <ol> <li>Initializes gain reduction curve as all samples are reduced by 0 dB</li> <li>Detects peaks of the input signal that was adjusted according to the gain reduction curve</li> <li>If there are no peaks, it finally applies gain reduction curve to the signal and completes processing of the signal</li> <li>Eliminates peaks by applying patch to the gain reduction curve</li> <li>Repeats step 2</li> </ol> <p>Simplified peak processing example is shown on the following picture:</p> <img src="../..//img/graph/limiter-reduction.png" alt="Simplified peak processing example"> <p>Of course, the output signal does not repeat the envelope form of input signal because it's amplitude is changed smoothly, so actually the form of output signal is more complicated.</p> <p> Currently there are three forms of patches applied to the gain curve - <b>hermite</b> (using cubic polynom for interpolation transients), <b>exponential</b> and <b>linear</b>. These forms can be explained with following picture: </p> <img src="../..//img/graph/limiter-patches.png" alt="Forms of patches applied to signal"> <p> Gain reduction patch affects not only the peak sample, but also surrounding samples. The position and form of this interpolation is related to the peak, so there are four different variants of patch envelope - <b>thin</b>, <b>tail</b>, <b>duck</b> and <b>wide</b>. All these forms related to the peak are shown on the following picture: </p> <img src="../..//img/graph/limiter-envelope.png" alt="Envelope forms of the patch"> <p> On this image, sloping lines mean the transision part of the patch. The flat cap in the middle before the peak is a half of attack time, the flat cap in the middle after the peak is a half of release time. Also it's obvious that different envelope forms differently affect dynamics of the signal. </p> <p><b>Controls:</b></p> <ul> <li> <b>Bypass</b> - bypass switch, when turned on (led indicator is shining), the plugin bypasses signal. </li> <li><b>Pause</b> - pauses any updates of the limiter graph.</li> <li><b>Clear</b> - clears all graphs.</li> <li><b>Mode</b> - the selected mode to use by limiter:</li> <ul> <li><b>Classic</b> - limiter works like compressor with infinite ratio.
