Well we all know that to optaine a average of -10 db or what not you need to make sure u do the right math....and then input that number into the Limiter your using,
But my questions is this...how can i get a MAXIMUM RMS LEVEL of about -3db....which is what i have seen most commercial hip hop CDS have...with a average rms level of -10 .....anyone help here?
RMS
Mind my lack of knowlege of hip hop music...especially the RMS level.
HarBal folks may disagree with me here, as they do have a built in limiter within their app...but from my experience and also from other forums, Voxengo Elephant is a good limiter for max loudness music like dance, pop and hip hop.

By all means, use whatever limiter you feel works best for you. We have no problem with that at all but I think it would be much better if people stopped chasing figures! What it sounds like is what is critical. If you can't get the sound you want by slamming it then don't. To borrow a phrase from Stavs book (ie. Mixing with your mind) you should be aiming for "maximum illusion, minimum voltage"!
