The Cakewalk Limiter

The Cakewalk Limiter prevents audio signals from exceeding a threshold that you define. A common use for a limiter is to avoid distortion in the final mix. The Cakewalk Limiter has a high "ratio" or gain reduction level.

Sample Applications

"My mix sounds great, but when I play my song at a loud volume it distorts even though the quiet sections sound fine."

The Cakewalk Limiter will prevent loud passages from distorting without affecting the rest of the recording.

"When I apply certain effects in real-time, some tracks distort during loud parts."

The role of the Cakewalk Limiter is to prevent your audio signals from exceeding a certain level. By adding the Cakewalk Limiter to your Effects chain, you prevent this problem.
