Some of the dynamics processors with a lower instruction count continue the gain from the last point in the lookup table (+6 dB), which could result in the output signal increasing in gain or clipping. In order to avoid this situation, make sure that your maximum input levels do not exceed the selected block’s limits. If you need your dynamics processors to operate with signals larger than +6 dB, consider using the Full Range dynamics processor or completely limiting the signal output from the dynamics processor by using the limiter.
