[QUOTE="Langston Holland, post: 35064, member: 171"] Re: SH-50 limiters. Absolutely correct - I didn't notice that correlation until you mentioned it. I never intended for the Lake's RMS limiter to do anything - only the peak limiter has been important to me given the very forgiving crest factor in real music as you noted. In the case of the Lake, I've found that moving the RMS limiter more than 3dB below the peak limit threshold softens the music more than I like when used with the "-6dB MaxRMS Corner" setting - which I do like. The subjective result of my recommendation to Helge is the best sounding limiting I've ever heard - significantly better than I've been able to achieve thus far with the Xilica XD, UX8800 or Ashly processors. I also haven't had the motivation to measure the Lake's RMS limiting function because it didn't make sense to me given the nature of music. Nick has me reconsidering this given his comments and the fact that he's obviously very sharp. I love being ignorant, every day is full of surprises. Off to brush up on some calculus... [/QUOTE]
