The leveler is a limiter (compressor with an infinite ratio) with slow
timing.
The Peak compressor is a compressor with fast timing. It acts on the
peaks that remain in the attack phase of the leveler.
The Hard limiter is a limiter with very fast timing. When enabled, it
removes the remaining loudness peaks after leveling and peak
compressing.
The output stage is equipped with a soft clipper to avoid any hard
digital clipping.
