I have just bought a KT DN8000.
Like a few other processors I have used, the limiter threshold is the only thing that can be alternated, not any parameters on attack or release (which is an issue when trying to make up manufacture presets regarding frequency band widths). I was wondering if anyone had any idea at what kind of ratio these are set? I was in 2 minds about applying the compressors at their maximum ratio (15:1... unfortunately nothing higher) with the appropriate attack and release times and threshold of the presets and then using the limiter threshold as a "jumper limiter" value to stop absolute peaks getting through... ** Martin Audio presets referring to XTA settings** Or should I just suck it up that this is a old unit where the limiter attack and release times are consistent over all frequency bandwidths and maybe just apply some compression at the "jumper limiter" value for some (probably un-needed) OTT protection... Thoughts? Edited by Grubbah - 26 November 2014 at 12:41am |

Thanks elliot.
What I meant was the software algorithm values for the limiter. As you can see the limiter only offers a threshold value unlike modern equivalents that offer an attack and release parameter. However after using the unit for the first time the other night I'm quite content with the limiters as they are, using a bit of compression to combat DJs with filter fingers :) |
