I am considering mixing with a peak limiter strapped across the mix bus of my DAW to periodically check how my mix is going to sound when it's volume maximized.
First off let me say I am not a fan of crushing dynamics and creating flat lined mixes. I produce and mix using the K-System and want to try to keep at least 14 DB of dynamic range after mastering.
The reason I am considering this, is that after working on a track, then listening to the track after passing it through Logic's limiter, I noticed (at the louder levels) details I wanted to change. I just did not pick these details up at the softer levels as I keep my peaks at about +4 on the K-20 system.
Obviously, anything that gets sent to for mastering is going to be bounced without the limiting.
Does anybody else do this? Any suggestions?
