compressionlimiting
Compression limiting is a dynamic range control technique in audio processing that combines compression with peak limiting to reduce the dynamic range while capping signal peaks. It is commonly used in music production, broadcast, and film post-production to achieve consistent perceived loudness and prevent distortion from sudden transients.
It operates by applying gain reduction when input exceeds a threshold (compression), followed by a limiter stage
Uses include mastering to comply with loudness standards, broadcasting to protect downstream equipment and ensure consistency,
