Software limiters might work better anyway.



Not before it gets to the A/D.



This is why you leave a little the A/D converter a little headroom. So
your software limiter will be able to work on a signal that isn't
clipped. That way, you can "unclip" it if you don't like what the
limiter is doing.


That's why I just record without a limiter if the level is guaranteed to
be low enough to be converted without overs anyway. Since that's pretty
much under my control, that's what usually happens.
