who knew!!

ps: i really have my doubts about going with the pendulum.

pps: i generally don't mix with a bus compressor. occasionally i'll use a tubetech multiband smc2b, but it has soo much glue that it sometimes isn't right for the track.
What i do is...
use to instances of wavelab & two independent sound cards. 1 for playing the original mix & 2 for capturing after the analog chain.
I alway keep my lavry set to 24 bits, but when I want to capture in 16 I'll just set the record dialog in WL to 16/44.1. that, in addition to using the l2 at 0.0 threashold & -0.1 for the out ceiling...no dither needed...record.
I'm using the asio audio input or live input so I can use the master fader to control the recording level. This is also were the digital clipping happens.
I'm sure this set up can be adapted for most any other platform.
