Are there any 'unwritten' rules about using limiters. Like is there a time when you should be trying to reduce the track levels rather than limiting.
I ask because I generally mix as I go along and by the end after all the extra layers the master is usually jumping up around 5dB on the beats. I've tried taking everything down, but it always seems to lose all the power.
I'm making jump up which is hardly the most subtle music form. Also I got the Drumsound + SBS sample pack and all of their samples are limitted to buggery!
Any opinions?
