As I promised, here is the mixbuss test. As you can see besides clipping the buss I've added a couple a samples limited with the PL2 (that is the best limiter I've ever tried so far).
The samples are meant to be:
1: normal gain staging
2: few db of clipping (1-2)
3: audible distortion but still consistent sound
4: deliberate distorion
PL2: sample 1 limited to imitate the deliberate distortion of sample 4
Driving the output on the consoles I tried to match the audible "distortion" on the respective files but as you can see from the PL2 samples, actual limiting was different!
A little note: Clipping level on console A was +19 dBu, on console B more than +26 dBu. I'm not shure but it should be around 28-30 dBu cause even the rosetta 800 with the soft limit engaged went into RED
(from that point to go I had to use the phone output to record the "hotter" samples)
