Implemented to address issue #36631
This is more of a soft-clipper than a true audio limiter, however, it corrects the clipping issue at hand until a true limiter can be implemented.
I couldn't tell why the old code was acting up, so given the parameters, I completely reimplemented the audio limiter effect using a logistics curve and documented everything well.
I chose the logistics curve because it provides a smooth, semi-linear transition up to a maximum point, which perfectly fits the description of what was needed for this limiter effect.
This is the old waveform that I captured in Audacity
And this is the new one with the logistics curve soft clipping.
