L2? definitely not, because L2 adds latency. a compressor with threshold at 0 dB is the way to go, but i still do not understand how can one equalise a sound that its level goes down by 10 dB - when i eq my kicks and leads, i get the level lower by less than about 4 dB in most occasions. if you have to eq that hard, you better change the sound.

Isn't there an effect bundled with FL Studio that allows you to raise the gain? I think it might be called Fruity Balance or something rather, which I know would set the panning...but I think there's an additional control on it for gain. Or at least some effect has that additional control as I've used it before.

That said, I agree with everything DigiNut has said however.

Waves L2 has zero latency. Perhaps you're thinking of the multiband compressor.

Regardless, who cares about latency on the master track?
