EQ>compressor>External Insert (FF800 AD)>Brickwall Limiter Set to 0.3

What would I use to increase the gain into the converter? The output of the compressor? Or the input fader in RME total mix?

I recommend using hi end hardware line driver for this or the make up gain on a good hardware comp.
I use my studer 962 ,or neve portico 5042 line driver etc for that extra 1 to 3 db`s into my apogee rosetta with soft limit on - sounds great most of the time.
