would there be a better option than just push the master fader ? Maybe the output of a linear eq is cleaner ??
Would anyone care about those 1.5 potential dB ?

Swell, am i takin care of u or not?? I said go ahead raise the master fader YES, so long as you don't see red at the meters it should be fine, the 2 limiters are acting as brickwalls and the ball stops at -0.6dbFS with the RN FINIS 3 no matter how much you push the master fader, of course if u continue pushing the signal will eventually break down and distort......

Edit; i am sure u have these limiters at the master buss, right??
