These are the Fabfilter Pro-L 2 settings that I use on every master!

I feel like if you turn True Peak limiting off, then it makes sense to use a safer ceiling, like at least -0.5dB. From the Pro L 2 manual: "The best way to minimize inter-sample peaks and distortion, is to use oversampling. In addition, increasing the lookahead can also help quite a lot, but may affect loudness and transparency. In most cases, choosing 4x oversampling in combination with a minimum lookahead time of 0.1 ms, keeps inter-sample peaks within a range of 0.1 dB." I've tested your settings, and see the True Peak Metering show my audio actually going as much as 0.3 dB higher than my set ceiling. I'd recommend either safer Lookahead or a safer ceiling if you're going to turn True Peak Limiting off, because the true peak can range a lot more than 0.1dB with such low lookahead. Oversampling saves but only so much.

Hi Streaky, why is the limiter attack set to 10s. It feels a little too large to detect any peaks. What is the motive for this?

@LETTMusic 2 ай бұрын

Attack on Pro L 2 isn't "attack", it's the 1st stage of release, and release is the 2nd stage of release. The attack is still instantaneous. Audio will still be brickwalled at the ceiling. It's confusing, but it's in the Pro L 2 manual.

@tundesmart 2 ай бұрын

@LETTMusic That's interesting. It seems this is the motivation for a two-stage release settings in FL studio's Maximus. Thanks a lot for the clarification!

Why lookahead on zero? Isn’t it more precise to have it previewing before?

@coleco Ай бұрын

From my very basic understanding, it can dull the track because it's making adjustments on its own based on the incoming audio, and it's adjustments might not be what you want. Some PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong.

@ALBUQUERQUEMusic Ай бұрын

@@coleco I thought the lookahead was a device to capture the wave coming with more precision, increasing the precision and overloading the processing.

How many dB of reduction should I ideally be seeing in the most energetic part of the song when I push it up with these settings?

@7thLETTERbeats 2 ай бұрын

Around 3db of reduction is ideal. Or as much as you want until it sounds bad, then pull back till it sounds good.

I find up to about 5/6 is still transparent I use a clipper if it overshoots 6.. also I find bass heavy dance music release to about 30ms works well otherwise some times a bit of crackling can occasionally be heard

It'll sound clearer once the audio is rendered into WAV or MP3. Right now the high oversampling is hard on your CPU.

@Alon21Ashkenazi Ай бұрын

why would you have lookahead but also a long attack instead of immediate one. that's not doing much you could've just had an almost 10ms attack and it'll be the same. Also, limiter settings won't be the same for every track and definitely not for every genre. Aside from Output -0.1 I'd say all should be so different.

it doesn't matter... one stupid thing about pro-l is it's not actually hard limiting at that level... it's only turning down the final output -.1 or -.3, I was so fucking pissed when I figured that out, the company of course explains it away.

What does the oversampling do?

@MusokeMSK 2 ай бұрын

Oversampling does practically the same thing as TruePeak Limiting. But you have more control over it, because you can decide by yourself how much Oversampling you want. So you don't have to use both. Streaky does it the right way👍

@ParanormalArson 2 ай бұрын

It runs the plug in at a higher sample rate. Ex: if you're running your project at 48kHz, the limiter will run at 768kHz. The higher sample rate will reduce the chance of inter-sample peaks, as opposed to true peak limiting which will directly target the inter-sample peaks (or the "true peak"). Think proactive approach ("let's prevent this from happening") vs. reactive approach ("this is happening, let's fix it").

@shaferproducergod 2 ай бұрын

It pevents upper distorted harmonics from folding down into the audible range so essentially reduces distortion and you can push it harder but its very cpu intensive

In Pro L 2 the “attack” function isnt standard attack like a normal compressor. The “attack” knob in Pro L2 effects how quickly the release function kicks in (if you hover over it with your mouse it will explain this)
