RE: LP recordings: Normalization and limiter

I don't think I'm really compressing the overall music, just the highest peak levels. I've been checking the effect of limiting on particular song tracks to make sure I'm not ending up with distortion, which can definitely be heard when pushing gain and excessive use of the limiter function. It seems to be very much dependent on the quality of the original recording, mixing, and mastering. By using the limiter to reduce the highest peak levels instead of manually reducing them I'm saving myself a lot of editing time. I think I've reached a happy medium but am continually tweaking the process. Thanks for the comment and warning.
