Limiter Help Me
-
Hi everyone,
I'm new to the forum and I've been experimenting with plugins for a few months. I've connected all the Dynamics Module controls with the knobs, but the only thing that works for me, I notice the difference is the Threshold that when I lower it from 0 to -20 increases the volume dramatically. How can I set a Clipper (Limiter) to 0db? Thanks a lot :)
-
@micione90 I'd suggest using the Juce one in ScriptNode
-
@clevername27 Ok, perfect... Should I insert a script module?
-
@micione90 Actually, I'm not seeing a jLimiter in ScriptNode. Can you post a snippet of where you're at?
-
@micione90 That's because you have the Makeup enabled in the Dynamics module (buttons at the bottom of the Dynamics interface.
If you leave the threshold of the limiter at 0db, that's where it'll set the ceiling.
-
@aaronventure Perfect, now it works... Now the problem is with the compressor, it clips my audio
-
@micione90 For compression, I recommend the jCompressor (standard JUCE compressor) in ScriptNode. I'm not as skilled at ScriptNode as @aaronventure, so I run everything with a little bit of headroom. I take the signal down by 3dB before anything else in ScriptNode, and then I check the RMS at the end before bumping the signal back up. Likewise, I run my Limiters at -0.1, instead of 0.0. But even @Christoph-Hart takes notes on ScriptNode from @aaronventure, so…he's probably the guy here. My advice is for mere humans like myself.
My fav thing about the HISE community is that the more people know, the kinder they are about helping. -
@clevername27 Great
thank you very much, I will try it immediately... It's true when you help each other it's a whole other thing -
@micione90 Thank you very much... Unfortunately I'm trying to try, but without results... Even when I insert the Dynamics module and insert the threshold at 0 db it exceeds the imposed level...
-
@micione90can you post a snippet?
-
Well this should solve your limiter issues. I'll release a compressor too if you need one.
[Free Dsp] Lookahead Limiter (true peak)
Oversample it for True Peak limiting. Download the script here: https://1drv.ms/u/c/6c19b197e5968b36/EQFgIcgl83VJviZoznFZWnEBleCXFfAD-KejdhTV9Q6IwQ?e=EyH8fM ...

@griffinboy Very nice of you! Would the look-ahead incur latency?
-
Yes. The extra latency is equal to about the same amount as the attack time (so a few ms, unless you are going wild with the attack).
The OP was wanting a solution that is guaranteed to stop peaks, and lookahead is the way to do that.

@griffinboy Excellent - cheers.
