Limiting
The Limiter acts as a last check on signal level. If the level goes over the threshold, fast acting, high ratio
compression is applied to bring it back within bounds.
If absolute control over peak levels is required, a Peak Clipper may be switched in, acting in effect as a
compressor with a ratio of infinity:1 and an instantaneous attack time :
sets the level above which limiting, or slipping if selected, takes place.
