it's true. but it's not really a "limiter". It's just that the output will not go over the 0dB border, so it's more of a clipping. I think it's the same for logic too. so basically you could use live master buss for limiting/clipping duties...could sound ok but there's certainly other too...

never heard of that, never experienced that, no info in the manual... if anybody has verified info please fill me in, otherwise i consider it to be another myth about ableton. This is silly... To me all that guy is saying is to add a limiter in there because that is the place for one. It is very ea...

Also have a look that your Ableton master Fader is set to 0dB. A lot of producers take there channel levels too high, then go down with the master fader to prevent output distortions. What most people don´t know that in the master section is also a Limiter involved. So this limiter works & make...

sorry but thats plain bull

did anyone know about this?

and when does it kick in, at +24 db or what???

i want it broader.. like i said, solved in the mastering process. some stuff are not fair to compare to a commercial track. try stereo imager on the drum buss or master buss. not so good advice imo. stereo enhancers mess with the phase relation, which is deadly on bass heavy material or on the mast...

all good tips here

one more thing, if you ever get bored of the synth itself, have a look at the fx racks in the library. some true gems in there.
