Register description
42/57
and therefore the release will only occur if the limiter has already reduced the gain. The
release threshold value can be used to set what is effectively a minimum dynamic range.
This is helpful as over-limiting can reduce the dynamic range to virtually zero and cause
program material to sound “lifeless”.
In AC mode the attack and release thresholds are set relative to full-scale. In DRC mode the
attack threshold is set relative to the maximum volume setting of the channels mapped to
that limiter and the release threshold is set relative to the maximum volume setting plus the
attack threshold.
