im not 100 % sure bus think a maximizer is a little like a limited. on a limited you push the sound by decibels i.e ur output could be 0dB so u would push input up to make ur sound louder n push the peaks down. I think the maximxer is a bit the same but u push the sound up by a percentage rather than a decibel, and u also get a soft clip function on it too, could be wrong tho lol |

| A maximiser is nothing like a limiter, its more like an exciter... |

it depends about which product you're speaking. the mximiser isn't a common type of plugin. some company uses this name for coloring plugins (bbe maximizer) other uses it as a brickwall limiter. |

| Yeah I've come across both types... Some add simple "distortion" by which I mean harmonics, and others use some sort of limiting or compression to bring the overall level up. |

decibel and percentage are just two different names to measure the same thing.
this is just a shot in the dark, but im guessing a maximizer is like a limiter but it does more than just compress at extreme high ratio and instant attack, like color the sound some how. or it might be an expander+comperssor in one, like vintage warmer. |

Yeah you might be right, I was thinking of the BBE maximiser, Im not sure what other ones there are... |

| maybe i wasnt wrong then lol, i use the maximzer in cubase 4 to lift the overall sound, i use it rather than the limiter in cubase 4 because it has a soft clip function. Im only startin out so theres still a load i need to learn lol |
