Wikipedia
limiting
In electronics, a limiter is a circuit that allows signals below a specified input power or level to pass unaffected while attenuating (lowering) the peaks of stronger signals that exceed this threshold. Limiting is a type of dynamic range compression. Clipping is an extreme version of limiting. Limiting is any process by which the amplitude of a signal is prevented from exceeding a predetermined value. Limiters are common as a safety device in live sound and broadcast applications to prevent sudden volume peaks from occurring. Limiters are also used as protective features in some components of sound reinforcement systems (e.g., powered mixing boards and power amplifiers) and in some bass amplifiers, to prevent unwanted distortion or loudspeaker damage.

limiting
Limiting refers to serving as a limit or boundary; restricting or confined within limits. It can also refer to the restricted conditions or factors that prevent something from becoming infinite or uncontrolled. It's often used in various fields such as science, mathematics, and engineering to describe a condition, value, or factor that restricts or holds back growth, expansion, or progress.

Limiting
Limiting: Any process by which a specified characteristic of the output of a device is prevented from exceeding a predetermined value. Limiting can refer to non-linear clipping, in which a signal is passed through normally but "sheared off" when it would normally exceed a certain threshold. It can also refer to a type of variable-gain audio level compression, in which the gain of an amplifier is changed very quickly to prevent the signal from going over a certain amplitude. ⁕Hard limiting is a limiting action in which there is ⁕ over the permitted dynamic range, negligible variation in the expected characteristic of the output signal, and ⁕ a steady-state signal, at the maximum permitted level, for the duration of each period when the output would otherwise be required to exceed the permitted dynamic range in order to correspond to the transfer function of the device. ⁕Soft limiting is limiting in which the transfer function of a device is a function of its instantaneous or integrated output level. The output waveform is therefore distorted, but not clipped. This article incorporates public domain material from the General Services Administration document "Federal Standard 1037C".

Examples of LIMITING in a Sentence
If( someone can) go to a show( they) always will, but for all of the limiting factors as to why people can't get to live shows, be it geographical restrictions, age restrictions, or cost... we realized there might be an opportunity to smash all those barriers and truly globalize music.
Creating a positive environment on our services is not just better for people, it's also better for our business. That's why we've designed our algorithms to limit clickbait and sensationalist content, which turns people away, it's also why we've done more than any other internet company to combat harmful content, including limiting content that sought to delegitimize the outcome of the election, both before and after January 6. We banned hundreds of militarized social movements, took down tens of thousands of QAnon pages, groups, and accounts from our apps, removed the original #StopTheSteal Group, labeled candidates' posts that sought to prematurely declare victory, and suspended former President Trump from our platform for at least two years.
I think that it doesn't fit their narrative, their narrative is one of limiting Second Amendment rights.… Their goal is to look at the Second Amendment as though it's these military style weapons … but really, it's pistols that are being used on the South Side of Chicago. So, it doesn't fit that big, scary gun thing when you see that most people, most homicides, are committed using revolvers, using Glocks.
Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis:
Our government is eager to rationalize the pension system (for example, by limiting early retirement), proceed with partial privatization of public assets, address the non-performing loans that are clogging the economy's credit circuits, create a fully independent tax commission, and boost entrepreneurship, the differences that remain concern how we understand the relationships between the various reforms and the macro environment.
Normalization of monetary policy in the coming months is almost priced in, and the Fed will start shrinking its balance sheet in September, and this does not necessarily mean a delay of rate hikes, this is supporting the dollar as a positive factor, and limiting its downside at the moment.
