Pro-L2 Why No Pre-Gain Slider?

Pro-L2 is amazing, but it seems like a strange oversight to not have a pre-limiter gain-reduction slider. There are times when this is handy. I know it's not a huge deal, and can be done before the plugin numerous ways, but it also seems like such a simple thing to add I'm curious why it wasn't.

Thanks!

Hi Ben,

Thanks for the suggestion! We always try to keep our plug-ins as simple and straightforward as possible, and have chosen to leave out input gain. For most limiting applications, input gain is simply not needed, and when really needed, you can indeed use another plug-in before Pro-L 2.

Thanks Floris.

I think of Pro-L2 as being more comprehensive than simple. Please consider it for the future if possible.

Thanks!
