2.1.6. Limiter attack


The limiter attack parameter determines the amount of time to look into the future when detecting peaks. Shorter attack times will result in more aggressive gain reduction, with the results becoming more gritty and distorted. Longer attack times will result in more transparent gain reduction, but will push the average level of the audio further down.

Limiter attack requires that the attack budget parameter is configured via the settings tab. This method of look-ahead configuration is used to support real-time adjustments of look-ahead without causing stuttering which would otherwise interfere with A/B testing.

Note that attack budget adds latency to the limiter in order to function.
