Is there a limiter on Reaper?
There are also several actual limiter effects in the JS effects library that comes with Reaper. Just open your FX browser and either search "limiter" or navigate to the JS section and scroll down a bit.
How do you put a limiter on?
To set a limiter, first identify the loudest section of a song. This is the part where the limiter will react most drastically. It is best to check for distortion in this area. Once you've found the loudest part of the song, insert a limiter of your choice on your master bus and listen to your recording.
How does a limiter threshold work?
Like a compressor, limiters have thresholds. But a limiter's threshold works a little differently from a compressor's. A limiter won't let the sound get any louder than the threshold. If you place a limiter with a threshold of 0 dB on a mix, the limiter will keep the mix from getting any louder than 0 dB.
