MAXIMIZER
Maximizer is a look-ahead limiter
with a graphical timeline to
visualize the dynamic range of the
input and output.
THRESHOLD sets the level at which limiting will be
applied, and CEILING sets the maximum output level.
LOOKAHEAD sets the amount of time the module will
lookahead at the input signal; longer lookahead times
can achieve a better response for transients and other
sudden changes in amplitude.
The TIMELINE displays the input signal and gain
reduction over time. The blue graph rises from the
bottom of the timeline and indicates the amplitude of the
input signal; the red graph grows downward from the top
of the timeline and indicates gain reduction.
RELEASE sets the speed at which the limiter stops
processing the signal after it has fallen below the
threshold.
The INPUT METER on the left side of the module
displays the level of the input signal, and the GAIN
REDUCTION METER on the right side of the module
displays the amount of gain reduction applied. Note that
the righthand meter is not an output meter.
