limiter ceiling is the threshold for the limiting. if you set it at 12 db a sound would need to peak at 12db before it starts limiting. Also if you set the limiter attack, release and sustain to 0 the limiter becomes a hard clipper using the limiter ceiling as the threshold. Fruity Limiter underrated.

[@doug2devious]

I just recently got into limiter and distructor and I’m finally seeing the magic in the distorted beats I hear

[@MusicByDreDubz]

Thankyou

[@acmebeatco]

I use the limiter in FL a lot. Added this to the toolbox. Thanks Fam!

[@tj3981]

That beat was dope and thanks for da info fam I'm glad u here we need u!!

[@rizmatikkmusic]

Always dropping some Gems.... appreciate it 👍

[@abelgutierrez1283]

Nice info on the expander. Though raising the ceiling ALONE has no effect on the waveform. You can test this by rendering your track dry. Then render with the ceiling up. Play both and reverse the polarity on one and you get perfect phase cancellation.

[@edgemondthemusician]

Hey, thanks for letting me know about this. You helped me unflatten a lot of instruments and samples for my new remastered song.

[@yhuan4386]

I saw laxcity do this and I didn't really know how it works. I just know it sounds louder. Thanks for explaining this more indepth!

[@factor3208]

To help your voice-over not get too noisy you can just add the waves Ns1 to your voice over track and find a sweet spot . its a great tutorial here . thanks

[@shrambostudios]

Great help dude. Keep up the great work. Gonna give you a shout out on my next podcast.

Fam thank you so much for this gem 🙏

[@kirk4c]

I remember Decap in one of his videos was talking about the ceiling as well in the fruity limiter how he uses it on his drums iI guess why he has the best kicks & 808s in my opinion his drums really do knock.

[@iceboorg9737]

Oh thank u ffs i never really understood the concept of limiter and u explained that so well

[@oOBiohazardxOo]

CEIL (Ceiling) - Limiter ceiling. Sets the level above which the signal will be limited. While it is not possible to disable the limiter stage completely, setting the ceiling level to the maximum (+12 dB) should effectively prevent limiter engaging. That's what the ceiling does as per the manual. The limiting of the signal is being "compressed" or "Limited" in your video by the saturator.

[@vinayburbure6447]

We need ample guitar melody full detail tutorial please? This video is the besttt i will try it !!

[@eyessytee3877]

Yooo thanks man 😅ibeen lookin for these bra

[@703records9]

I use Fruity Limiter to compress and saturate melodies, and I use Fruity Soft Clipper for drums. I put the threshold on the highest and post gain to the desired DB level, and the drums tend to keep all their qualities in the mix, no matter how low that DB level is. I use saturation on the limiter in my master preset, too.

[@D-LoccOfficial]

really helpful tkx bro

[@k3anobeats]

Thanks for the tip

[@forsale313]

Thank you. A revisit of Fruity Limiter is in order with this NEW information. If it will render like that......WHEW

Hey can you make a vid on the stock plugin pitch shifter and how to use it like the waves pitch shifter plugin

[@anordkiwango9196]

and thank you for your effort. If you can make a video about Lo-Fi soft, that would be aweso!

[@DJDOBREL]

This is fn genius!!! thank you

[@mehmetabdullah250]

you werent hitting clipping range before increasing that ceiling right? Why would it clip then? Also, you can do this with maximus and compressor too, i dont need to tell how its done in maximus but in fls stock compressor if you increase threshold and change the the "ratio" to 0/4 it will increase the volume, i do it sometimes on 808s but i have never tried that on a full beat tho i have to admit.

[@rockstarrellbeats]

Thank you

[@sharmore9425]

I was always taught when I open FL Studio and Fruity Limiter was on the master, I was taught to delete it right away, Some people was acting like Fruity Limiter was the devil 😂 Anyway, Thank you Game...Always dropping knowledge. Do the Grammy's have a section for KZbin Producers/Teachers like you if they don't they should and you Sir should have lots of those GRAMMY'S with YOUR NAME on THEM, PERIOD!!!

[@djstikzo9431]

I second that man.🙌

[@tykobray4132]

yes you should. make your song, get all the levels as best as you can before adding compression and mastering to the overall track -> for best results.

Hey Busy, What would you recommend on the Fruity Limiter with those 2 curve settings? from 1 to 8? For a punchy mix?

[@sonofyah_]

we need this instrumental released ASAP no rocky!

[@nightmarevstplugin3944]

Nice

[@mani-ud8cu]

so this is kinda like what the mv2 does but you can add saturation?

[@patrickrowe6745]

Wow! Big coincidence. I was just about searching for this tutorial online and suddenly, this popped up

[@busyworksbeats]

I got you 😎

[@davidakad]

Shhheeessshhhh tooo much saauce🔥🔥

[@markbruggeman274]

Damn, I'm so surprised the way stock Compression and Limiting sounds in FL. (Did they change it??) I can't hear a difference between Fruity Limiter -vs- my expensive Pro-L 2. Also the Fruity Compressor gives me the same sound as Compassion with the same settings.

[@kingtoon9882]

big gem

[@heymarqo2932]

Dayum bro did u just try several chains and found this one. It’s a diamond!

[@busyworksbeats]

I don’t even know how I stumbled across this lol

[@musik_lvrz]

Yo Game... the REAL game changer is using this in parallel to get this sound WITH your original dynamics in tact.

[@ehmjay540]

So put it on my mix bus? AND the master?

[@dimivaleff1191]

​@@ehmjay540 i think they meant you should route your mixbus to a new channel, use the limiter and then blend this new signal with the original mix bus signal in the master channel.

[@domcolliermusic6390]

@@ehmjay540 please do not do that. This guy has no idea what he is talking about

[@yannickjhones]

Thank youuuuuu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@keemland]

THIS A GAME CHANGER!!!! (no pun intended lol)

[@lawinter1949]

I you sure this expanding? It feels like its doing upward compression. Also is the limiter and the compressor working together or does it switch between them depending on what is chosen?

[@forsale313]

yea, just watching him tinker with it, it seemed like upward compression (in OTT). But either way I'm going to re investigate the plugin using his information because there is a BIG difference in the sound for sure. The real test is what it sounds like after it's rendered. Stay up and keep Fruity Loopin'. Peace

[@NMinatoS]

@@forsale313 its upward compression and he probably means that too, just using the wrong term.

[@dingchikpostman8534]

My mastering track ducking so much it didn't loud when I export the track. So clash and weird sound after export even If I export my track at high quality.😭😭

[@TheCJoe22]

Does this apply to vocals?

[@asovamain4292]

Theoretically speaking, could you put your kicks/808s on a track by themselves, then do all this to just the track the kicks are on so it doesn’t affect the hh/claps ?

[@busyworksbeats]

You could , track might not sound as cohesive but it can be done

[@damonsasser8129]

you can run side chained to kick drum so it effects the kick drum the most or only when it hits you could parallel process it to. so add separate track with instance of fl limiter and run a send to the track in parallel this may help you control what part of the tone and or dynamics sound is being effected

[@damonsasser8129]

check out dan Worrall videos he explains side chaining parallel processing very well. he primary uses fabfilter plugins which I very much recommend. the process from a-b on such plugins is very similiar

[@j.p.productions5541]

I would agree completely. I separate most of my drums as much as possible to add effects to each instrument. Instead of the entire drum track at once.

[@jaystarmusic5805]

Can u do this technique when mastering a track?

[@deitunegold4593]

Have you find an answer to this?

[@JustLeonOfficial]

[@tlamanepa]

I always deleted fruity limiter before this.. 🤣

[@abstractn7819]

I attempted to apply this to some of my old tracks and hear the differences but I unfortunately realized this technique is specific for your genre. In my case it doesn't work at all and ruins a lot of the sounds. Still interesting though.

Sheesh now my music is going to be better now

You have to use a good set of headphones or monitors. Close your eyes and it feels as if the room got bigger in a 3 dimensional space.

You probably don't want to take any advice from a guy who can't tell you what 'Ceiling' is while explaining a limiter.

[@busyworksbeats]

I know what a ceiling is, I said I don’t know why it’s not clipping when we have the ceiling at +20dB, what’s the results? You’re focusing on one word, like, listen to the results

[@rv4002]

@@busyworksbeats its not cliping because there is a release set

[@ryanjackson5452]

i enjoy your videos but sometimes you talk too much....nothin but love though

[@domcolliermusic6390]

Congratulations you discovered saturation and compression.😂 why are you doing this in your master instead of just fixing your mix??? The best master is a great mix down

[@dj_adam_g_uk]

I literally do that all in the mix and just use a limiter to bring the gain back up

[@tykobray4132]

sounds overly distorted now. completely disagree with how you've used it.
