if you are referring to Soft Limit on the Apogee products I wouldn't suggest it on a 2 Mix to get it louder. I bought one expecting to be able to get my tracks hotter and it is just the contrary when engaged it sounds like a compressor crapping out when the release is too fast. I pretty much never use softlimit. You can drive the Aogees pretty hot before they begin to noticeably distort. I think the only time I would ever use it is for maybe tracking a rhodes or a bass, where top end clarity doesn't matter as much, and overs will stick out like a sore thumb. With Soft Limit engaged you will notice a small loss in fidelity. It's not big, but it is there.
