Can't help but find it interesting that Tony (who seems like a high end guy) feels it necessary to take matters into his own hands...
....although the above is a run on sentence, I agree with the part about the Lavry not being for everything... can I suggest that maybe you should use two stages of analog limiting first eq either in between or after, don't clip the converter, then use two or three nice limiter plugs with eq inserted where necessary...1db at every stage (max) should get you there....any more and you'll be in trouble......or........just use ( as suggested here) Plug limiters. Stack about 8,ease the threshold one by one, insert some eq where you feel that there is some build up and Bob's your uncle...or
forget about good limiting and just slam the Lavry and call it a day...but if you don't like what an L2 does , I would not suggest clipping a converter...it's the easy way...if it's just for A&R and not final mastering take the easy way 'cause that's what they probably want to hear...if you want it to sound great, send it to someone who knows how to master without clipping a converter. Good Luck. This is a lost craft.
