This is a smart solution, because outstanding peaks usually do not sound
well in the loop anyway.
Thats why we built that limiter in, but Kim screwed it up ;-) when he
improved the noise. It still works, but it does not limit treble peaks
properly. With avarage sound, it should be ok.
Just try and overload the plex a bit to see!
