Thanks Bob! I was smiling and chuckling through your whole story. And thanks for putting my mind at ease about not using a limiter. When I mentioned it to a couple of mix engineers who do rock and metal, they looked shocked. “You don’t use a limiter? Are you nuts? How do you get tracks to be loud enough then?” I said, ummm, I just turn up the gain on my stereo system until my ears are bleeding and the dog leaves the room. Then I know it’s loud enough.
