-The term <nowiki>"saturation"</nowiki> is used to describe a "limiting" effect where little or no increase in output level results from an increase of input level above the "[[threshold]]." The main differences between "hard" or "brickwall" limiting and saturation are that the signal below the threshold basically [[linear]] and the lack of "attack and release" time constants found in traditional limiters and compressors. Above the threshold, all audio signals are affected instantaneously in the same level-dependent manner.
