If mastering your episodes to the proper LUFS level results in lots of peaks being “chopped off,” or more accurately severely limited, it means you could use more compression in the mixing phase.
It’s not that limiting necessarily sounds bad, and…
It doesn’t mean you HAVE to use more compression, but…
Compression will compress those peaks in a good-sounding way and therefore those peaks will not be severely limited in your mastering step. Compression will also even out the loud and soft levels of the audio making it easier to understand in noisy environments.
