Broadcast Standard - (Limiting)
 

Greetings!!!

I am trying to understand what is the standard and safety limiter settigns for Broadcast Commercials. I am using Waves L1 Limiter + I was told the standard is - 7.5dB for the Out Ceiling. Can someone explain this to me in a way I can understand please. Also the number varies from -7.5 to -10 from what I have gathered. Thank you
