    <title>Limiter</title>
    <p>A limiter allows signals below a specified input power or level to pass unaffected while attenuating (lowering) the peaks of stronger signals that exceed this threshold.</p>
    <p>EasyEffects uses the limiter developed by Calf Studio.</p>

            <p>The Limiter will reach its attenuation level in this amount of time (output will be delayed two times this time).</p>

            <p>Increase the signal sampling to better detect the peaks. The signal is downsampled after processing.</p>

            </title>
            <p>When gain reduction is always needed ASC takes care of releasing to an average reduction level rather than reaching a reduction of 0 in the release time.</p>

            </title>
            <p>Select how much the release time is affected by ASC, 0 means nearly no changes in release time while 1 produces higher release times.</p>

            <p>Raises the signal level adding the absolute value of the limit amount after the compression stage is performed. Enabling this feature the volume is automatically leveled at 0 db.</p>
