How do you use a limiter for mixing?
How do you use a limiter in a mix? You can use a limiter in any situation where you don't want the signal to go above a certain level. Simply lower the threshold until you get a few decibels of gain reduction on just the loudest parts of the performance.
Should I mix with a limiter?
As people already said, dont mix into a limiter. Leave that for the mastering process. If you wanna glue the mix with a bus compressor that´s another thing, but try to volume match so you actually hear the compressor making it better and not just higher.
How do limiters work?
A limiter catches the loudest peaks of an audio source and applies brick wall compression that prevents it from exceeding the clipping point of 0 dBFS. A limiter is used to increase percieved loudness by increasing the quietest parts of an audio signal while 'limiting' the peaks with compression.
When should I use a limiter?
When to use a limiter. Limiters can be used in any situation where you need to cap the intensity of a signal at a defined level. For example, they can work well on percussion in situations where some hits are much louder than others and need to be tightly controlled.
