Secret on the Pro-L2

Fabfilter’s Pro-L2 is one of the more popular limiters out there…and for good reasons!!

The sound quality and user-friendly features make this a staple on many master chains.

This specific built-in feature (headphone icon) allows you to hear what is getting cut by the limiter.

This is a great opportunity to hear if there is a specific element, or two, that’s being squashed when you increase your input gain into the threshold.

Think of this as another referencing tool you can add to your kit so you can make the best decisions for your music.
