Do you have any custom effects installed?

What are the symptoms? Have you tried an "extreme" setting?

What are your settings? What are your peaks before & after limiting?*

...The regular limiter may not "appear" to be working if you're using make-up gain.

(I've never tried Limiter II.)



* The quickest way to accurately check the peaks is with the Amplify effect. i.e. If Amplify defaults to +3dB your peaks are currently -3dB. If it defaults to 0dB (no change) your peaks are currently 0dB. (Or if you have ACX-check installed it will also report the peaks.)

Несколько раз сносил и устанавливал заново. На вновь установленной программе, настройки по умолчанию - не работает. На иконке лимитера кнопка прослушать также не рабочая. Скачал другой лимитер, установил, работает.

Google translate:
Several times demolished and reinstalled. On a newly installed program, the default settings do not work. On the limiter icon, the listen button is also not working. I downloaded another limiter, installed it, it works.
