Controls Overview
Control knobs for the Precision Limiter behave the same way as all UAD plug-
ins. Input, Output, and Release values can be modified with text entry. See
“Text Entry” on page 92 for more information.
The Precision Limiter introduced a new control style for UAD plug-ins. For the
Mode, Meter, Scale, and Clear parameters, click the parameter label, the
value text, or the LED to toggle between available values.
Precision Limiter Controls
Input The Input knob controls the signal level that is input into the limiter. Increasing
the input will result in more limiting as the input signal exceeds 0 dB.
The default value is 0 dB. The available range is –6 dB to 24 dB.
Output The Output knob determines the maximum level at the output of the plug-in.
This control does not affect the actual limiting.
The Precision Limiter always limits the signal to 0 dB internally, and the actual
output is set by attenuating this internal level. Likewise, the input control can
drive the signal over 0 dB to get more limiting.
If the Precision Limiter is the last processor in the signal path when mixing
down to disk (bouncing), the Output value will be the level of the highest peak
in the resultant audio file.
The default value is –0.10 dB. The available range is from –12 dB to 0 dB.
Non-zero values are always negative, therefore during text entry operations
positive or negative values may be entered and the result will be negative.
