=====NoLimit=====

NoLimit was orignally created by the ChunkWorks as the first third party plugin for the PARIS EDS effects system. It is now being made available and further developed by [[MikeAudet Mike Audet]] with permission of Chuck Duffy and the [[ChunkWorks PARIS Skunkworks]]. According to Mike, //"NoLimit was originally released by [[ChunkWorks Chuck Duffy and his team]], and remains one of the finest mastering plugins available. Version 1.3 adds a gain reduction meter, a sample rate bug fix, and the ability to blend direct and compressed signals."//

NoLimit is a brickwall limiter that permits extreme "squashing" of audio signals. IMPORTANT NOTE: [[ParisNoNos do not use values of "0" or "50" on Chuck's original NoLimit!  This is fixed in newer builds by Mike Audet]]

====Controls explained:====

**Mix:** unlike hardware compressors, NoLimit gives control over the ratio of dry/effected signal, permitting such uses as the blending of a compressed kick signal beneath the original uncompressed version to "stiffen" the kick without robbing dynamics.

**Ceiling:** Sets the maximum volume for the output signal

**Release:** Sets the release time of the limiter. Use higher release times - .50 sec and up - for lower thresholds, and to avoid distortion.

**Threshold:** Sets the threshold at which the limiter begins applying makeup gain

**Lookahead:** - increases the amount of time "in advance" the plugin can calculate by introducing a slight delay of the signal, effectively "looking ahead" of the playback. Use longer values - 0.025 or greater - for most precise limiting and to avoid distortion (if you're using this on the master bus, the delay will make no difference)

**Bugs/peculiarities:** 

IMPORTANT NOTE: [[ParisNoNos do not use values of "0" or "50" on Chuck's original NoLimit! ]]'

**Suggested Applications and Settings:** Really excellent mastering limiter, but also has uses for acoustic guitar and other applications
