That plugin at the end is amazing. Especially is the configuration that you showed; it's most of the analysis tools that I use.

Thanks for posting. Great lesson in how to set up the limiter. Didn't realise cubase had 'supervision'...great tool.

Is there a reason to add the limiter on the last slot of the insert? What difference does it make if you put the limiter in the first slot of the mix console?
