Hey Andy--
I know you've said you find it helpful to mix through a limiter, even if you don't print it. I don't have the finalizer, just software limiters like the L2. My question is, how much gain reduction do you usually go for for this purpose? Do you smash it more than you actually will when mastering to intentionally overcompensate for any lost dynamics? Or is it fairly subtle?
Thanks,
