Let me break down "loud production" from an engineering standpoint. Ideally when you look at the soundwave of a song, it has little ups and downs where the beat is. The loudest points, after mastering are at digital zero. Enter the limiter. What this little puppy does is it keeps the peak at digital zero, and pushes the rest of the soundwave against it, think of it as a sonic brick wall. Those little pulses where the beat is are now gone and the song is squished into a solid bar all the way through. it's a distorted wall of noise with zero dynamic range and it sounds like shit. The peak volume of quiet production and loud production are the same, the only difference is that the loud one stays there the whole time.
