Sorry guys, but I have to softly disagree with you on EL Dyn modes. Without EL Dyn modes the limiter sounds "blocked" - it may offer a bit of more punch, but the sound becomes closed and a bit muddy. EL Dyn modes produce much more open sound, without muddy flavor which is generated when lower frequencies get squeezed.

If your audio system allows, you may adjust master output gain to +6 dB, listen to the track, then back it off to the original loudness, perform limiting with Elephant at +6 dB setting and compare the subjective feeling. EL Dyn modes preserve the "lightness" (dynamism) of the original sound better in my opinion.
