Default limiting tip

There is a wonderful plugin--js schwa audio_statistics.

Do your mixdown. Make sure the volume is-3 or less. Add whatever eq you use. Add audio_statistic. Look at where it displays peak RMS. Add 16 to the peak RMS. For example, if your peak RMS is -20, -20 + 16=-4. Set your limiter threshold to -4. Nice limiting. Not too squashed. Limiting can range from mellow, -16 rms, to modern (to my ears harsh) -12 rms. I usually keep things at around -15 rms.
