+4dB means that internally the audio signal of that channel is 4dB above the Threshold, and the

limiter turns down the output of that channel by 4dB at that moment. Gain Reduction of 6dB or

more may be quite audible and result in “pumping” audio.

Threshold

With the Threshold faders you adjust the peak levels upon which the limiter will start working.

Setting the Threshold to -2dB (for example) will cause Gain Reduction of any peaks exceeding this

level.

XL – The Saturation knob

The XL knob allows to further push the signal and add some warmth by the application of smooth

third and fifth order harmonics. Aliasing is prevented due to a special filtering process.

Using the XL feature will let your mix sound way louder – without really altering the actual audio

level too much. This way you can achieve mixes that seem to be louder than they actually are!

You may apply XL to all 3 channels (Mid Lo, Mid Hi and Side), but we highly recommend using the

XL process cautiously on the channel that contains the lead vocals and other natural signals. This

will be the Mid Hi channel in most situations.

> XL settings up to 50% should be OK to be used with any material with no problems to be

expected, higher settings might work on the Mid Lo and Side chain best.

> XL is a secret weapon for achieving loudness that can usually only be heard on recordings

mastered by the very best mastering engineers world wide.

> Just try it and judge for yourself.
