2.1. What compressors and limiters do
Limiting
All musical programs have constant changes in loudness. It is the job of a limiter to
detect when the volume has exceeded a predetermined maximum safe level, and to
turn down the volume. When the incoming signal returns to its original level, the limiter
should respond by restoring the gain to normal. Thus, when the level is within a
specified ‘safe’ range, the limiter has no effect. When an occasional peak occurs, the
limiter responds.
