I do not believe Biab has built in limiting or compression. It would say so if it did somewhere in the advertisements..... "we inserted limiting and compression for you so you don't have to. Just listen and you can hear it pumping and screwing up your tracks and projects without any effort on your part"....... nahhhh I don't think they would do that.

I think it's probably an audible illusion. A way to check would be to mute the vox....and listen.

I would be kinda mad if a program took it upon itself to add FX that I did not insert because it (or the code writer) thought it knew what I wanted or needed. I prefer to add or not add fx as MY EARS tell me is needed.

I actually prefer not to use limiting and compression for that purpose but rather use volume envelopes to bring things in and out and up and down as needed. I rarely lower the volume of things (background instruments) during the singing. Rather I have the vocals set properly and use fill instruments quite often in the vocal gaps to provide interest.

I think it's an illusion. In the same way a nicely washed and waxed car runs better.


edit: having said that I do believe that the real band real tracks... the individual tracks, not the entire project as a whole, are compressed to one degree or another. Drums and other things..... I've had people comment on my music (who have discerning ears) to that effect on several occasions.
