daniele turi Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 Hi soundies! Which is the best limiter Threshold, Recovery and Knee setup? I have: Threshold: -4.o dBFS Recovery: 200msec Knee: Hard-Knee with 20:1 slope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VM Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 It depends what you are recording. My favourite setup is -4 dBfs, 100 ms, soft knee but it may varies, and I try not to use the limiter. If the main sound is recorded by the camera, I use the hard knee setup.

Boomboom Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 ...taken from a post by Matt from SD somewhere: How do I make the 788T limiter sound like the limiter on the 702/702T/722/744T?The 702, 702T, 722, 744T, and 788T all incorporate analog limiters but the control and characteristics of the 788T limiters are slightly different. The 702, 702T, 722, and 744T have a fixed -4 dBFS threshold, 5 ms attack time, 20:1 ratio, and 200 ms release time. The 788T limiters have a variable threshold, release, and knee, and a fixed 2 ms attack time and an Infinite:1 ratio.To make the 788T Limiter sound similar to the 702/702T/722/744T Limiter, follow these steps. Set the Setup Menu option INPUT: LIMITER THRESHOLD to -4 dBFS. Set the Setup Menu option INPUT:LIMITER RECOVERY to 200 ms. Set the Setup Menu option INPUT: LIMITER KNEE to Hard-Knee with 20:1 ratio. Set the trim levels so that the normal level is about -20 and peaks around -12 dBFS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniele turi Posted February 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 Is there a setup possibilities to get a never clip solution? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Wexler Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 Not possible to have NeverClip in any recorder other than a Zaxcom product at this time. Excessive and unexpected levels at the input will have to be managed with prudent use of a limiter properly set. If you have to rely on a limiter, the above settings seem to be a clear way to go. Preferable, of course, is to not have to employ limiting, but limiting is the lesser of evils for the majority of devices (other than Zaxcom) in use today.
