Yes... it compresses. If you need it so little that you don't notice the changes, you could get the same result with a compressor; if you can't fix it with a compressor a limiter will be a total mess. I don't mean to be insulting, but using a limiter just doesn't make sense when you can get better, more natural-sounding results out of a compressor. Anywhere a limiter goes it's just flattening peaks, instead of tapering them off like a compressor, and it takes very little limiter use anywhere in a chain to make it noticeable. Using a limiter just winds up being the easy way out, and even untrained ears are able to tell when someone has taken that easy way out to any moderate extent because the fatiguing and pumpy sound just gets to them.
Sorry, limiters just remind me of the kind of people who cook two pounds of pasta in barely enough water to cover it, drink Bud Light, and scoop every ounce of mid out of their tone because they don't know better and don't care to learn anything new.

Proof you should trust your ears. I'm going to tell those SAE graduates to kiss my ass.
