Manifesto
You have too many plugins. You have too many options. Limiter is here to save you from yourself.
It provides strict, randomized constraints forcing you to be creative, to make it work and move on. It's A counterweight to the omnipresent "make your life easier" mentality.
FAQ (The Sassy Section)
Q: Why there are no drums?
A: By design, Limiter is for making melodic ideas, basically everything besides drums. That’s the first limitation. If you don’t like it, import your favorite collection of perfectly mixed snares.
Q: It told me to use a 'Sitar' but I don't own a Sitar.
A: You have a microphone and a mouth? Hum it. You have a synth, make a patch that sounds like a sitar. Just don’t go on Ebay and buy one. Make it work with what you have.
Q: I don’t even know what the card means.
A: This is a perfect moment to learn something new and immediately try it out in practice. Expand your palette.
Q: Can I customize the list?
A: Yes. Go to Settings > User Sources. Paste in your actual gear list, your favorite VSTs, or a list of vegetables to sample. Make it yours.
Q: The 'Processing' card sounds terrible with the 'Source' card.
A: Maybe it’s not terrible, just unfamiliar. Friction creates heat. Heat creates art. Make it work.
Q: What happens if my Creativity Score hits zero?
A: Nothing, except the silent judgment of the algorithm. And perhaps your own conscience.
Q: How do I save my session?
A: You don't. Record the audio. Export the WAV. That is the only save file that matters. As soon as you make something that you’d never imagine 20 minutes ago, that’s it - Limiter has done its job.
