ableton limiting

[jobbanaught]

found out today that ableton has a limiter hidden in its master channel.

did anyone know about this?

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

[Opuswerk]

when you have a new empty project, then you have a limiter as efc on the master channel?

(i have suite 8 too, and don't see that)

I don't have that either.

a multiband compressor, which can be very usefull for other things, such as 3-band signal splitting.

could you elaborate on this?
what is 3 band signal splitting? (does it split it on 3 channels that you can threat in a different way?)
would be very interested to know
thx

Here's a link to a simple rack with 3 bands splitting. That process is very used in dnb to be able to modualte several layers of the same sound differently and recombine them, very handy in neuro dnb.

I never saw it was hidden. Here it shows up as a device in the fx list. Maybe it's because I got live 8 suite? But I thought the only fx that was related to that was Amp...

no no..

i have the limiter too that I can see, but there is one embedded in the software.

I was speaking to my mastering engineer and was just asking him loads of questions and he told me that in Ableton there is a limiter in the software. If people are interested I can post the conversation we had because its useful information if youre sending stuff to a mastering guy and using ableton.

Please post that, I never heard of that before.

sorry but thats plain bull

[s.k.]

i also think its not true because i've ran various tests... this is simply not true.

but would also like to hear what the mastering engineer has to say, so yes please.

I have just asked him why he thinks that. He will get back to me when he can.
