Hi Guys,

With true 24 bit recording (and the preamps to match it) like with my 722,
I'm hard pressed to really worry about leaving too much headroom. But even
in a 16bit world the nice and samrt engineers thought of this great idea:
limiting, and some limiters sound pretty good, maybe not as good as a
properly gained coyote, but you might still get a decent one.

Ah well. 

Anton
