I have a basically-unconfigured implementation of the engine in GameMaker and I’m curious what it’s going to do about extremely loud inputs by default. I ask because I am using fmod_channel_control_set_volume() with gain factors of like x5 for some songs when trying to balance to make everything sound roughly the same volume, and I’ve noticed what sounds like a limiter interjecting and bringing things down if I boost things too much. This is better than clipping and I will probably be remastering my audio to not need the in-engine amplification anyhow, but I’m curious what I’m running into as-is. Is there a page on the API ref I could read to learn more about what’s in place by default here? And then how to configure it? Any info would be cool, thanks 
Hi,
What version of FMOD are you using?
You may be hearing the FMOD_INIT_CLIP_OUTPUT: FMOD Engine | Core Api System - Fmod::Initflags. However, this has to be enabled when initializing the FMOD system.
Are you able to reproduce this issue in any of the FMOD Examples included with the engine? "C:\Program Files (x86)\FMOD SoundSystem\FMOD Studio API Windows\api\core\examples\vs2019\examples.sln"
