If there is no gain reduction, then there is no limiting. So what is the point of it being there?

Opposite to clean sounding. Muddy, gritty, noisy, dirty, like Boards Of Canada, Burial, or possible even Coki.

bahh! Come on man, 0-3db's of limiting is not going to kill your dynamics.

Might not kill them, but will reduce them. Also I don't want 10-60 limiters eating my CPU, and giving me headaches.

The the moral of this thread is: Don't run limiters on all your tracks.

Yeah, like most of my sounds, in most of my tracks.
