How do i set a hard limit in Mixpad

Podcaster_Mike

I tried adjusting the volume compressors with a threshold of-3 but that just adds so much noise instead of restricting the volume. So clearly its not that. I was used to using adobe Audition so things look different. i just want to avoid all my tracks peaking so i want to set a hard limit with no boosting sounds, just putting a ceiling on them. any help please?

I used Au CS6 for quite some time. The Mix/WavePad equivalent I use it the Hard Limiter preset on the Compressor. I found the preset for the Hard or Soft limiters to be adequate, providing things weren't too loud already when going into the processor. Otherwise I would say reduce the overall volume first?

I'm a "trial & error" kind of engineer so if you want me to take a crack at anything send me a link to the audio & what you want. I'll see if I can figure it out.
