$Page Limiter $TargetName Limiter *Making a limiter* This example is included to demonstrate that Max bundles a number of high-quality dynamics processors in pre-made objects, in this case [omx.peaklim~]. Using these in Live simply requires controlling the object's parameters with messages connected to Max for Live user interface elements. Limiter.png -> In these examples, the extra interface elements included in the subpatcher (in this case [p PeakLimiter]) are not required for the functioning of the device. They are only included for educative purposes. -> After learning how a patch works and copying (parts of) it into your own device, you can remove interface elements that you no longer need since they use some CPU and add a bit to the loading time of the device. If you want to know more about compression in Max, here is an $Link in-depth tutorial .
