... but whatever. YM as they say MV.
I have been asked for a radio version of a song and I must admit
I find the question a little perplexing. I have no control over
how broadcasters process
thier signal. You mentioned that the limter you checked out had several
settings, which one is the reference? It's like trying to EQ for the loudness
button. So, DesertDawg, I recommend that you do your thing on your familiar
system. After that it's out of your hands.
