I agree 0.3 dB doesnt represent a big deal. But 1.6 dB is quiet a lot for a project that is supposed to be loud. Having found the best relation between the two limiters, I don't want to touch them anymore. So how about gaining, at the really end of my sidechain, 1.5 dB or so ??

aight Yo..so if it's ur mix peaking at -1.6dBfs and u wanna keep ur current limiters' thresholds then raise the master fader by +1.5 dB...so long as u don't see it clipping ur gonna b fine.....

Simply by pushing the masterfader during bounce ?? I know positive value on DAW faders is not so good...

like i said it's ok as long as there is no clipping (and looks like you have the headroom)....but you can also boost the overall levels with the Massey L2007 by lowering 1.6dB of its current threshold (makin it at the same time work a bit harder 4 u) and setting ceiling at -0.1dBFS!...I hope you are not tryin a DIY masterin job here, little brother and that ur using this just to listen in ur car while u get dinero for a real mastering guy to dynamically process it....seriously yo, u can never bring it to the level a professional does with just peak limiters..
