2:00 The best graphic explaining compression of all time The dividing the Db per ratio setting is so well explained! I wish this video was posted 5 years ago...
Thank you (sound engineers in general) for making "bricks" of music, loudness wars and walls of sound. Your "commercial approach" has already killed all good music in the world but we need even more!
Would have been helpful to explain all the controls before demoing, instead of just 'gain'. For example, the Threshold control wasn't explained at all in the context of limiting.
Because that particular software has automatic make-up-gain enabled - which is quite handy. In general, some limiters have this feature, some don't, and it might or might not be enabled in their settings. If absent then its up to you to make up the gain manually. Either way, taking advantage of any extra headroom the limiter gains (from shaving off the biggest peaks, typically many of which are transient spikes that nobody would really miss).
@@DavidEsp1 Doesn't that go against the entire point of limiting? If I am trying to keep my peaks below a certain threshold, but they get louder, how does that help me?
He said, “the gain match feature matches the output when the limiter is bypassed” … This makes no sense !!! I don’t understand this and I can’t wrap my head around this…. What does this mean?? And what does this entail? PLEASE HELP ME !! 🙏🙏
I feel like when i adjust the threshold it just makes it louder and only when I dip the celiing do i get a reduction in level, yet it kills the dynamics. Any help with this would be great. Could you also explain what the blue lines are?
If you're still having this issue then another compressor/limiter (different vst have different algorithms for sound) or a maximiser (soft clipper) as this one is often "extreme" as its primarily meant to be used on masters
Almost a good video. you did not adequately explain the threshold. You basically said...there is a threshold that is sort of like a ceiling. Huh? They have to be different or why would we need both? I honestly didn't learn much from this and I am sort of a newbie to limiters. The relationship between the ceiling and threshold have to be significant in some way.
Don't know how I bumped onto this. Anyway Awesome video 🤩🤩🤩. I also have been watching those rather similar from mStarTutorials and kinda wonder how you guys make these vids. MStar Tutorials also had cool info about similiar things on his vids.
I had great fun making this for you guys 👌
Thanks!

I thought exactly the same thing
@@jonathanpena7309 Thank you so much!! Shit like this means a lot for a under 1k subs guy !
every plugin in every daw should have a gain match feature. Izotope inc is the greatest of all time
Useful .... loved that

For those asking -
Threshold is where limiting starts.
Ceiling is max output.

Great info! Thanks :)
Good info…thanks
Why does it get louder when he lowers the threshold?

4:39 "remembering that our ears naturally prefer louder music..." Well, isn't that debatable...
Is it really debatable? It’s pretty much scientifically proven
Bravo!
im more confused, this one has a treshold and a ceiling parameter

Singer: Bro you are over compressing
Producer: I am Limiting bro. stfu keep your voice down//
