Should a limiter on the master be the first thing you add before writing a track?

Compression on individual tracks can tame dynamics that would otherwise make it hard to mix, but any kind of compression on the master is something usually reserved for the mastering process.

Same here, limiter plugin on master bus (ceiling -0,2, treshold 0, precautionary measure) at production stage none of my tracks sound over -18db.
