Compressor Vs Limiter – What’s the Difference?
In audio engineering, both limiters and compressors are dynamic processors used to control the volume level of audio signals. However, they have different functions and applications, and understanding their differences is crucial to using them effectively. What Does a Compressor Do? A compressor is used to reduce the dynamic range of an audio signal by…
What Is Crest Factor & Why Does It Matter?
In simple terms, crest factor describes the dynamic range of an audio signal. It is the ratio of the peak level of a signal to its RMS (root mean square) level. It provides an indication of how much headroom is available in an audio system to avoid clipping and distortion. If that explanation was a…
