JUCE is an open-source cross-platform C++ application framework for desktop and mobile applications, including VST, VST3, AU, AUv3, LV2 and AAX audio plug-ins.
Add a dsp::Limiter to a project that makes sound, and set its threshold to something like 100 dBFS, and set the release to something short like 4ms.

Hear distortion
What is the expected behaviour?
I would expect that if the threshold is set to something really high like 100 dBFS, the limiter would just do nothing -- it would pass the audio through with no changes. But somehow it seems that the audio is getting massively amplified before the hard 0 dBFS clipper, causing significant distortion.
