Should I use EQ, DVC, and Limited at the same time?

I am using eq, and DVC, though I am wondering if I need to then also enable the limiter. I have applied the appropriate amount of preamp (pregain), so clipping shouldn't be an issue. Should I enable the limiter as a clipping precaution or is it not needed?

As long as you aren't pushing the EQ settings (e.g. bass) up too high, and by the sounds of it you are applying a negative preamp gain anyway to compensate, there should be no need to enable the limiter. But it would only kick in if the output would be getting up to 100% digital max anyway, so you would not notice it unless it is needed.

Ok, thank you very much!
