Many are trying to make tutorials, but just a few create videos that worth the time spent watching them... Based on that, I owe you for giving me all I wanted to know, without wasting my time... I am a new subscriber, now addicted to your tutorials, I hope you have a lot of them !!
fun fact, you don't need to input the negative symbol on output knob. Fab filter made it this was seeing as the only direction the knob can go is down. Just to save an extra key-press!
4:06 Normaly when you have channels linked is more for mono and when you like and want to preserve the stereo image that you gave but sometimes there are things that are really paned and you can have something that is too loud in one channel but the limiter if it's 100% linked willl turn down the same amount for bouth channels making the other channel that was not as loud really quiet, and this can heppen in the transients or in the sustained parts ''thats why there is the release linking that it affects the things that pass through the release stage of the limiter ''in short, the things that are beeing compresed in the release stage''. So if yo have the case that you have things reallly hard or nearly hard panned to one channel and you don't want this voolume change you can unlink them a bit like 65-80% to preserve a little bit of the volume. that's why the transient stage is a bit turned down. Sorry im not native english i hope everything is more understandable
Thanku so much Butimy celing is -0.3 or -1 Should I use oversampling too at same time Plzz m confused "Oversampling and celing both reduced the peaks " Hope u get my point plez guide me
Thank you have just recently picked up l2 and it of course is way different from the built in Ableton Limiter. I have big understanding of what i am now doing with L2
Great job !!! Thanks Question: Some say we should set the Output to neg 1 (-1.0) and others say neg.1 (-0.1) for Mastering level...which is correct (and why if you would). Thanks again, Steve
thanks! You would set your output to less than 0db to make sure that you aren't going above 0db true peak which may cause distortion when your digital signal is played through speakers (analogue signal). Because with the Pro-L2 you can activate the true peak limiting, that means that the limiter will make sure that you won't go above 0db true peak. Some limiters don't have the true peak limiting option and that is why you would lower the output more to something like -1db. With a true peak limiter you don't have to lower the output to lower than 0db, but I sometimes do like -0.1 just in case. You can use something like a Youlean Loudness meter to see whether you are going above 0db true peak and use that to determine what level to set your output at.
@@samsmyers Not quite true, especially when master for streaming platforms. Most streaming platform like Spotify, RUclips, SoundCloud, etc. require a true peak level of -1 dBTP (not 0 dBTP) for all uploaded files. Be very careful when mastering music for those platforms.
When I run professional songs through the Pro L2 there is zero redlining up top, yet the master is loud and hitting between -5 and -8 LUFS. Are you able to explain how they achieve this?
Hi Sam, thanks for the great tutorial! I didn't get one thing though: the 1:1 setting on the output, how is this setting useful and what for is it 🤔? @ 8:04 and does that affect the output signal 🤔
thanks! when you increase the gain on the limiter, it makes your song louder. The 1:1 doesn't make your song louder. It is a "gain match" so it doesn't increase your gain. This is useful to see what the limiter is doing to your sound, and can help you hear what is distorting (if anything)
Hello, great tutorial. What would you recommend as a ball park figure to aim for with gain reduction? Anything below -3.5 or just above? Plus i cannot seem to get the LUFs to meet the level I want by using the gain slider, should i go back to the mix and sort the there?
Great video! I have a question. When I have finished adjusting the limiters gain slider with unity gain on, do I turn off unity gain and then adjust my output volume?
yes you should turn off the unity gain button before you export. You might not need to adjust your output volume, but I'm maybe confused on that part of the question?
@@samsmyers at the end of your video you talked about how depending on where your exports destination will go will influence how you adjust your output for the designated LUFS
what a shitty plugin, i can't move the ceiling easily when i want to limit quieter vocals (or anything at all) or rather i can't move down the threshold and ceiling at the same time edit: nevermind there's 1:1 button on out, still tho kinda annoying
Brilliant tutorial. Perfect quick, clear run through of the features for a beginner. All tutorials should be like this.
thank you!

This is one of the best tutorials I’ve seen for literally anything. Good video

thanks!
This is why I always go through comment section!! Thanks for posting.
Thank you! I recently picked this plugin up and found this to be the most helpful tutorial thus far for getting started quickly.
Glad it helped!
The presentation of this plugin couldn't be any better.
Thanks!

Oh my goodness man this plug-in is absolutely fabulous and your tutorial is so helpful. I can’t wait to apply it.
This is the BEST video, that I have seen on this, yet> SUBSCRIBED!
Thanku so much

Great to hear!
Clear detail revue. 👍Well explained.
Another excellent video. I never realised L2 has such a good metering options. Thanks for such a good tutorial.
Glad you liked it!
Very helpful. Also that song is so catchy. Great stuff.
Glad you like it! -check out the song on my Spotify!
Thanks for creating all of these tutorials on Fab Filters. Very helpful
Super helpful direct info - exactly what I was looking for. Thanks so much!
Nice informative video. I'm learning to use the L2 on the master of my new song.
Stumbled upon your video because I was looking for a "remove gain from the plugin feature (the 1:1 button that you are explaining ~8:05) Thanks!
Great!
Kudos to Sam Smyers!!! So much useful information in just the first 2 mins WOW!!!

Thanks for the run down and getting straight to the point.
hope it helped!
Simple and crystal clear ! Thank you.

couldnt have been presented any better. thanks so much!
Yes he could. He talks about settings features without properly showing their location.

Awesome tutorial, and very clear!!! Thank you so much!
Great tutorial, subbed!
nice work. totally useable and fully understandable.
@Sam Smyers:
Great video!
Question:
I don't see the ISP button.
I know that the previous version had it.
Did FabFilter remove it?
hmm I'm not sure...what does the ISP button do?
@@samsmyers
ISP (Inter-Sample Peaks) protection prevents unwanted distortions caused by the D/A conversion.
Most high-end limiters have it.
@@Crossfire2003 oh its the "True Peak Limiting" button at the bottom
@@samsmyers
OK.
Great review of the plugin.
Thank you very much for this video!
GREAT and helpful video - thanks!
yea no problem!

May God shower His blessing on you and your family.
thanks a lot!!! so nice reverb
Love your style bro, v informative, clearly expressed and succinct. Really excellent, kudos

Very Very clear my homeslice
Appreciate the help legend
Que increíble, saludos desde México.🔥🙏
gracias!
Great tutorial 💚
Thank you! Cheers!
hai sam smyers what is sample that song you play one shot vox ( Hey ) what name that pack you get?
excellent my friend !
Thanks for sharing mate! =)
No problem 👍
What about the loss of quality of the red signals caused by limiting?
I guess it depends on what you mean by loss of quality?
What version is this? I have v1.0 and it's different.
So much info. Thanks dude
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you!
Thank you 🙏
thank you! great content!

Thankyou VeryMuch!
Great tutorial, cheers!
thank you!
Cant you adjudant The ceiling? Just like in fl studios limiter?
Yes! It's the output on the bottom right hand corner of the plugin
Very helpful
Glad it helped!
can i use the fabfilter limiter WHILE recording?
yea!
when will i stop confusing the waves l2 and the fabfilter l2 haha
Did you release the song? Man thats lit!
Yea! check it out on Spotify
Great content!
thank you!
Thanks
gr8 vid
much appreciated ..
Awesome vid :)
Thanks! 😁
❤
thx
🔥
Please read documentation regarding attack and release this is not compressor..
Thought the sidechain button was the Heisenberg button.😂
thinks
I like your 40:1 Hater Ratio on here. Seems like you have your threshold just about right. Keep up the great work. Great video
Yes! Thank you!
An even better 55:1 ratio at the moment, congratz!
*Laughs in 32x i9 glory*
what a shitty plugin, i can't move the ceiling easily when i want to limit quieter vocals (or anything at all)
or rather i can't move down the threshold and ceiling at the same time
edit: nevermind there's 1:1 button on out, still tho kinda annoying
Thank you for explaining this thoroughly!
Very helpful.
Thank you!
thanks
