Going into it, the peaks on it reach ~-6.4 while the limiter threshold is at -11.3 meaning that on the biggest peaks your limiter is doing close to 5dB of gain reduction, which on a full mix can easily be enough to impart audible pumping artefacts.
OK, I get that...any tips on how I can achieve -14lufs and keep that from happening at the same time?

I generally tend to lowpass and highpass the mix until the compression is happing on more the average frequency range of the mix.
Cool, thanks for that...I'll try that this time...

I'm still learning the stock REAPER plugins...
