I use the LM100 everyday to pass Discovery specs. Of course you can use compression there is no problem with that. But if you heavily limit and don't have a healthy rms to peak ratio (about 10 to 12 dBs) then you will have problems. Mix in short term mode and monitor louder if you think it feels low. On a very basic level you will probably be mixing everything to a slightly lower level than you have been previously; I know thats what happened in my experience.
