elysia mpressor Dual-Channel Creative Compressor - Manual (Page 13)

13 controls - gain reduction limiter
A specialty of the mpressor plugin is the Gain
Reduction Limiter. This limiter is not placed in
the audio path where you would expect it, but
in the control path of compressor instead.
The effect: No matter how high the input level
or your threshold and ratio settings become –
the amount of gain reduction will never exceed
the value which is set with the GRL controller.
Loud parts in an arrangement can keep their
dynamics, and special effects like ducking or
upward compression can be achieved by only
reducing the quieter signal parts.
