<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>I enjoy creating and exploring all kinds of sounds with my synth, mostly ambient / drone stuff. Calming, and not abrasive or too loud (I’m not into dance, trance, etc.)</p> <p>I want to keep all the sound levels down so any swells / buildup doesn’t jump from like -20db to -3db. </p> <p>I could squash & compress in post, but won’t that create undesirable clipping?</p> <p>So I’m thinking - compressor in the synth?</p> <p>Or …</p> <p>do I want to adjust modulation somehow? Maybe an oscillator or envelope? I’m somewhat new to this aspect.</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/soundsgooodman"> /u/soundsgooodman </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers/comments/t3109w/how_to_limit_levels_peaks_synth_or_daw/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers/comments/t3109w/how_to_limit_levels_peaks_synth_or_daw/">[comments]</a></span>
