Working with rock n roll songs here, (guitars, bass, drums, vox) in case that changes anything. so i record on a tascam dp 32 i mix my song i record the master on it using the built in compressor ( no normalizer) then i bring my stereo wave file into reaper and in order to add a little volume/ punch to it I am attempting to use the LOUDMAX limiter. i mess around with the settings of the plugin but am not sure what the threshold/ output settings really do. are there any general guide lines to go by when using a limiter? (how to tell what to set the threshold/ output at based on info from the song your working with)
any other steps you would recommend besides compress and limit?
i want to use the least amount of FXs as possible, my goal is getting my master to a reasonable volume and thickness without slapping plugin after plugin on it.
