How to Use a Limiter (The Right Way)

Welcome back to Feedback Audio. Today, Lex breaks down limiters. What they do, how they work, and how to use them without absolutely destroying your mix. Limiters show up in every mixing and mastering session, but most people use them wrong. In this video, we cover the fundamentals in a simple, beginner-friendly way so you can get clean loudness without clipping, distortion, or pumping. Using a real session from Fredericksburg, VA rapper Sean D. Brown, Lex walks through how to set ceilings, thresholds, gain reduction, LUFS targets, and how to avoid the common limiter mistakes that ruin dynamics and low-end impact.
