Derek, I'm pretty sure the "release time" is the amount of time to look ahead. To avoid getting the lovely squashed sound make sure you are getting no "overs" (red) on the main input meter. Also, try not to push the limiter input signal into the red too much. I like to let it hot red occasionally but not stay there. In addition, the multiband compressors can do the same thing to the signal as the limiter. Of course, it comes down to what you want personally. It's easy to over compress/limit and destroy the dynamics of the song. It's a fine line between over compressed and under volumed.
