2.2 – VUMETER / LIMITER / OUTPUT / GR - LEVEL
VU:
With “LEVEL” signal measurement and “GR” gain reduction options. The “green (-
10dB)” mark gives us the most stable and intense point. We can also compress almost
to mute, for parallel compressions with great sustain.
LIMIT:
Toggles between two options. The first consists, in circuitry (VCA), soft. The
second (SOFT CLIP), as a barrier for percussion, buses and complete mixes. It really
always depends on the type of sound material and, of course, the production approach
that we want. Either type can work fine. If we don't need a gimmicky sound, any soft
limiting is more than enough.
Below the switch we have a lamp, which indicates, long before the area (Clip) in white,
the beginning of the soft limiting process. The red color indicates that we are forcing
its entry.
OUTPUT:
Its implementation is arranged "POST LIMITER" to be able to reduce or
increase some dB.
