Ya, I understand that, but why cant you export with it peaking at say -1db and make the engineer just turn it down before he does anything?

Probably because it's one more step in the process which could alter the sound quality with like 0.0000090472938% (That's a random number by the way). I don't know. Mastering engineers are perfectionists. Or lazy. Whatever.

I use everything but eq on master channel :>
