I don't design limiters so I can only speak of them in terms of practical application. If there's some technical reason why my statement is wrong, so be it. However, in the context of what we were talking about ...limiters... what I said is how the tool functions. When I want to increase the loudness of a mix, I pull the threshold down and the mix gets louder, just as what happens at the 5:12 mark of this video...



I've never used a limiter that didn't work that way.

And now you can demand to see the manager; I've said all I need to say about this.
