[QUOTE="Stuart HÃ¸gg, post: 92038, member: 148"] Re: Setting up a standalone limiter for Meyer UPAs This particular gig was supposedly a "small dance tent" as a side stage to the main gig we were doing. Turned out that we were playing to an entire hillside of drunken revellers. Meanwhile the "band stage" which had a far more substantial system, was virtually deserted... The problem with turning it down is that it just encourages the DJs to run their stuff harder. What I want is to be limiting the "peaks" (both short and prolonged peaks in content level) but without the corresponding drop in volume in the quieter sections. I know I'll essentially be squeezing even more dynamic range out of the music, but I don't think anyone will mind. I'd agree, but there are occasions where they are the only thing left in the shop. They sound quite good for other dance genres, there is a regular club night which has taken a rig for years and haven't ever blown anything, but the music they are playing is more soulful and less intense.
