[QUOTE="Evan Kirkendall, post: 50447, member: 5"] Re: Which limiters are good enough? If you want your limiters to actually protect your speakers, then you want your attack time as quick as possible. I like 0ms attack time personally. Release time depends on what you want your limiter to sound like. A longer release is going to pump more, while a short release time is going to be "choppy" sounding. My release time normally hovers around 80-90ms. Gets out of the way fast and sounds fairly transparent. Output gain should be at 0. Adding 10dB of gain to your rig is going to completely change your gain structure and make your limiter setting completely useless. That 10dB(or whatever) of added gain is going to make your amps clip 10dB before your limiter even kicks in. Evan [/QUOTE]
