In the MPC,
I use AIR compressor on the master track, no limiter or anything else.
I use a threshold of -9 dB for the comp, ratio ~ 2.8, gain 0- 3 dB,
"New York Style" wet mix: 71%
I level everything so that its just around 0 dB FS peak.
Then I bring the export into Audacity and use Loudness Normalisation at - 14 dB.
However, with these settings in the MPC its usually already leveled so well the difference is often just 1 dB and the waveform hardly moves.
