The Increment Limiter

MichaelBenjamin · 4 Mar 2010

to be honest, i dont really get it. maybe you better demonstrate with something that benefits more from limiting, since scotts loop already is quite preproduced and i would not limit that any further. instead some raw recording of live percussion with small and long spikes would be better suited for this. simply start with the unedited and then crank up the limiting. the switching back and fourth confuses me.

Thanks for the reply.

I increased the gain so it exceeded the 0 dB mark and, limit the peaks @ -0.3 dB then -0.1 dB. That is pretty hard to achieve using a standard volume control when you are +4.4 dB over 0 dB.

The reason I used Scott's sample is because he allowed me to use it. Trying to find a live recording that will allow me use online in a video shoot is not an easy task. Scott's sample also offers a lot of bass which tends to create a great deal of pumping when compressing music.

If you are willing to share some of your live work so, I can use as an example, I will be happy to make a second video presentation. 🙂

If no one likes it, at least I tried. 😉

Cheers!

this would be an example where i would use a limiter to cut off the spike on the one channel by about 4-6 db, but on the other side i also doubt that this would be a good occasion to show off a limiter, because if you would just simply clip this theres almost no difference, since that peak is so short. maybe scott can provide you with a non limited mix of that loop. anyways such vids are a nice complementary touch, congratulations to the release.

Howdy, that Steinberg proggi looks old like the hills. 😮 Reminds me of Cubase VST32 which i've seen last on my RIP PowerMac6400 decades ago! What is that?

I've created a video using the wine glass sample in which I am uploading on vimeo at the moment. Possibly we can set a trend of video presentations.

Hey there.. the limiter and what it does with the ratios sounds really cool and i just saw and ehard with my own years a distorded +4,5 db signal get to -0,1 and sounding really cool...

good job i havent tried it yet.. but i gues it might be my new brickwall limiter.. :p

also if you want help in graphics i can help

Upon viewing the silver knobs on the main page, I knew you were a graphic designer however gave my intuition the benefit of doubt.

Once I explored the showcase (which is only mentioned selling high line products) it eliminated all doubts.

I have just begun offering a few of my plug-ins for free and, the others I keep for personal use. Your work is beautiful and I am more than certain you are compensated handsomely with such talent.

If you could direct me to a few tutorials that will enhance my graphical skills, I would greatly appreciate it. You are not the first to comment on my graphical interface. I understand it needs work. I don’t know how to make it look better and I am not ashamed to say so. I would imagine Gimp offers the tools, however, when you’ve use Microsoft paint for years, even Gimp is overwhelming.

I don’t like to burden those who operate a business with my pastime pleasures. I try my best not to be selfish and, strongly believe in the old saying “Do onto others as you would wish them do onto you.” So a basic tutorial link for the intimidate would be most helpful.

Cheers!

thanks for the credit, i finally tried out the plugin and at first try it kind of did the opposite of what i was expecting. about the graphics, maybe you can stay with microsoft paint and do some wacky pixel stuff? the more diversity, the better. but thats only of course if you want to keep that task for yourself. i would say - if dsp development is a man - then interface design is clearly a woman.

Can you make it more simple? You dont want me to do graphics for you because you want to do it yourself? and you just need a tutorial?

you said you use paint? haha wtf

you want tutorial in paint? :P

I apologise if my reply sent the wrong message.

I do not want to burden you since I cannot pay you for your graphical skills. I've noticed your examples are from developers who charge a fee for their plug-ins whereas I am giving some of my designs away for free. This is why I would be more than happy if you could direct me to a tutorial so I do not come across as a nuisance based on your good faith.

Since I am only designing equalisers and a few compressors, my projects are intermediate compared to what other synthmaker developers are creating. I am nowhere near their academic level using synthmaker and, I am not ashamed to say so. Possibly things will change as time progress but, as of now I merely work with the stock equaliser & compressor and create new projects.

With nothing really amazing in my designs and, offering some of my plug-ins for free, I am more than thankful for the free knobs many share and their wisdom.

While I would be more than grateful for your help, I don’t have anything substantial to offer in return. I just wanted to set the record straight.

Cheers

I'm using Gimp ( http://www.gimp.org/ ) in addition to Microsoft Paint. It appears to be a Linux based photo editer. I am still overwhelmed with it. But, I am learning slowly but surely. 🙂

I have no problem sharing my work. However, I don't like to short change people.

Nice!

It reminds me of a girl that kept staring at my rack full of effects. She was so intrigued with the bouncing lights moving beat of the music, I went in the kitchen for 10 minutes and she did not even notice I was gone. 😀
