- to Aim a More Extreme Loudness Target (i.e. Make it Very Loud) You Could Use 2 Limiters in Series
1) Add Final Limiter and Add All the Gain you Need
- e.g. Set a High Threshold in Limitless with Still -1.0 dB Ceiling
- you can Often Set the First to a More Aggressive Setting

2) Then Insert Another Limiter Before that to Only Reduce the Peaks Prior Going into the Aggressive Limiter
- i.e. this Limiter Instance Should Only Reduce the Peaks but Not Adding Gain
- Use a More Smooth Algorithm for that Limiter
- e.g. to Do this in Limitless, Simply Put Threshold and Ceiling to Zero and then Activate the Link Icon so the Output is the Same (i.e. Ceiling will Automatically Reduce Gain Added by Threshold)

3) This Way you can Exactly Setup the Desired GR in Each Limiter Instead Making 1 Limiter to Do All the Work
