definitely wouldn't push overs on the mp-2. That'll definitely ruin a recording. Fucked up atleast 2 that way.
I run it hot on the Neuros.
I'm not trying to be an ass or arguementative. I'm just saying that for the type of music I record, I don't think I need the limiter. Maybe I can get armen to explain it to me in person. I still don't see how it's gonna help.
Hey np, its a hard concept.
But you said you don't run it hot on the MP-2 cuz it will ruin a recording. I agree, and it wouldn't sound better if you used the limiter (running it too hot, as the limiter would be kicking in all the time, remember I said set the levels right, then add the limiter, this assumes that the limiter is set to max just before clipping). HOWEVER, if you had a single spike that sent it over, that part would sound bad, the limiter would keep that from happening. Any other time the limiter does nothing.
Think of a limiter like a govenor (like they install on school buses, to max out at 55 or 65) That govenor doesn't affect how fast you can accelerate to 55, doesn't care if you drive 25, but as soon as you try to do 70, it stops going faster, you do 55 and that is it. The limiter takes you to the limit before clipping and thats it. Below that it has no effect. Does that make sense?
