Brief Description¶
Adds a soft clip Limiter audio effect to an Audio bus.
Member Variables¶
- float ceiling_db - The waveform’s maximum allowed value. Value can range from -20 to -0.1. Default value:
-0.1dB
. - float soft_clip_db - Applies a gain to the limited waves. Value can range from 0 to 6. Default value:
2dB
. - float soft_clip_ratio
- float threshold_db - Threshold from which the limiter begins to be active. Value can range from -30 to 0. Default value:
0dB
.
Description¶
A limiter is similar to a compressor, but it’s less flexible and designed to disallow sound going over a given dB threshold. Adding one in the Master Bus is always recommended to reduce the effects of clipping.
Soft clipping starts to reduce the peaks a little below the threshold level and progressively increases its effect as the input level increases such that the threshold is never exceeded.
