Recently I've taken to putting Waves Ultramaximiser as the final master
plugin on my tracks in Cubase...

With a moderate kind of setting this allows you to almost master on the
fly.. (Or at least to pump up the sound a hell of a lot).. 

My first question is: Can anyone give me their thoughts as to the pros and
cons of this technique? It's not my ideal solution but it's the only way
I've found to get hot enough levels in Cubase without turning the Master
level way down...

Secondly, I just realised that kind of without thinking about it I've been
taking my Cubase Mixdowns and Running them Through T-racks to push them even
more... 

The sound quality is understandably slightly lacking (although not THAT
bad!).. I know that the Ultramaximiser should be run last because of it's
dithering algorithms etc.. So I guess my second question is... Is this as
bad an idea as I suspect? 
Is there a way of doing something similar to this without using the
Maximiser ? (just using a limiter plugin instead??)... Can anyone recommend
a decent Limiter plugin? 


cheers,

Nick
