I'm currently working in Logic X. I love the P&M compressors and limiters, however there seems to be a trend that as soon as I apply a plug-in as an insert into my chain, there is a 2dB - 3dB increase in level going through the plug-in. This is at the default setting with no compression or limiting applied. I then have to take the Trim back 2dB - 3B to make it even.
However, the more I increase compression/limiting, the gain gets louder. It's almost as if there is an auto gain setting, but it goes beyond what it should be. Because of this, I never have to reach for the Make Up knob because its already too loud. Maybe those Make Up knobs could default at 12:00 allowing the user to increase or decrease the output instead sort of like the Trim knob?
