Metric Halo ChannelStrip 3 - Manual (Page 47)

Processing
47
The final processing block in ChannelStrip 3 is a limiter. The limiter can be used to ensure that the final output
of ChannelStrip doesn't distort due to extreme EQ boosts. This also makes it very easy to use ChannelStrip as
a mastering plug-in on your final mix bus.
The limiter threshold may be set between 0 and -12 dB using the Limiter Threshold knob. The gain reduction
is displayed via the ring around the encoder, sweeping from right to left.
The limiter applies autogain to the audio when engaged; as the threshold is lowered, the output gain is in-
creased a complementary amount.
