CEIL (Ceiling) - Limiter ceiling. Sets the level above which the signal will be limited. While it is not possible to disable the limiter stage completely, setting the ceiling level to the maximum (+12 dB) should effectively prevent limiter engaging.

That's what the ceiling does as per the manual. The limiting of the signal is being "compressed" or "Limited" in your video by the saturator.

I use Fruity Limiter to compress and saturate melodies, and I use Fruity Soft Clipper for drums.

I put the threshold on the highest and post gain to the desired DB level, and the drums tend to keep all their qualities in the mix, no matter how low that DB level is.

I use saturation on the limiter in my master preset, too.

[soulbringer-official]

Got the principle. The essence is in the expander. The peaks are amplified, enter the saturation threshold and get a varied saturation and at the same time more compressed those sounds that are above the saturation threshold.

🔥🔥🔥🔥 definitely goin to try this. I used limiter a little different

That beat was dope and thanks for da info fam I'm glad u here we need u!!

[MJWemoto]

This is one of the best videos I have ever seen. Ever.

[LifeIsGood]

this also can be achieved on Maximus using the curve, it's called expanding

[mehmetabdullah]

you werent hitting clipping range before increasing that ceiling right? Why would it clip then? Also, you can do this with maximus and compressor too, i dont need to tell how its done in maximus but in fls stock compressor if you increase threshold and change the the "ratio" to 0/4 it will increase the volume, i do it sometimes on 808s but i have never tried that on a full beat tho i have to admit.

Thanks so much man I’ve been struggling with trying to get a Level sound this trick helped me to achieve that I’m forever grateful 💯🙏🏾❤️ much thanks bro

[olivergyure]

this guy is a genius bro, I've learned a lot

[markbruggeman]

Damn, I'm so surprised the way stock Compression and Limiting sounds in FL. (Did they change it??)
I can't hear a difference between Fruity Limiter -vs- my expensive Pro-L 2. Also the Fruity Compressor gives me the same sound as Compassion with the same settings.

[bluedoggo]

Thank you very much for this video. :)

[degod]

do you put it on before or after mixing your beats?

[kryptoniteproductions]

How should I go about compressing vocals?

[benard]

Would you want to level before this or after this step

[anordkiwango]

and thank you for your effort. If you can make a video about Lo-Fi soft, that would be aweso!

[KennyMatrix]

"youre using fruity limiter wrong" hah, shows what you know, im not using it at all!

[AntiTrollable]

Just say "gain knob" without saying "gay knob". 😂😂😂

[HowDoYouCope]

Thanks tho, but how do i handle it when a 808 is added?
