I found myself having to use the limiter on a recent show cause I felt I had no other option, or did I? Show had already started and levels were real hot, gain all the way down. Couldn't get to the mic bodies to switch the pad, so in a panic I activated the limiter. I mean it worked, I was able to increase gain, but I thought I read a post saying never to use the limiter. What else could i have done or should have done? What did the limiter do?
