Gain
[-24, 24] dB
Sets the parametric gain on the EQ band. For peaking filters, this is the gain at the peak of
the band. For shelving filters, this is the gain at the extreme limit of the filter. This parameter
is ignored for the high and low pass filter types as well as the bandpass filter type.
Frequency
[20, 22k] Hz
Sets the characteristic frequency of the filter band.
Bandwidth
[0.01, 2.5] Oct
Sets the bandwidth of the filter band in octaves.
Type
{Peaking/Parametric, Low Shelf, Hi Shelf, Hi Cut, Low Cut, Band Pass, RIAA}
Chooses the type of filter that is applied for the band.

• Synopsis: Flexible Signal Dynamics Limiter
• Category: Dynamics, Mastering
• Channels: 1, 2
Description:
MIOLimit is a flexible, full featured dynamics processor that provides signal limiting functionality.
The limiter provides a flexible detector that can be driven from the input signal or a sidechain input.
The detector computes the input level of the source signal, using the user specified
Release
time to control the responsiveness of gain cell of the limiter.
When the detected level is below the
Threshold
, the gain cell passes the signal with no change.
Conversely, when the detected level is above the
Threshold
, the signal is attenuated based upon
the
Knee
and the level of the signal above the
Threshold
.
When the
Knee
is set to 0, MIOLimit acts a hard-threshold brickwall limiter.
When the
Knee
is set to a value above 0, the knee will be softened, and the effective ratio will
increase gradually from 1 to infinity. The transition is made more gradual as the
Knee
is increased
from 0 to 1.
After the limiter gain-reduction has been applied to the signal, an additional make-up gain block
applies a user specified
Makeup Gain
to the signal. If the
Auto Gain
has been enabled, the user
specified
Makeup Gain
is applied in addition to the limiter computed make-up gain.
After the make-up gain has been applied, the output signal is limited to the level specified by the
Out Ceiling
. This output ceiling limiter captures the effects of fast-transient breakthrough and
is especially useful when using MIOLimit on highly impulsive signals with large compression ratios.
