[Csnd] Best way to limit Amplitude

Subject[Csnd] Best way to limit Amplitude
I am creating a tracker type sequencer for Android.

I would like a way to limit the amplitude as more and more notes are added so that I don't get a dropout.

What is the best way to do this? All of the audio output goes to a single "audio" channel instrument before going to the sound out.

the "best way" is to give yourself a dynamic range such that you do not clip with all voices active

that is incompatible with modern pop music aesthetics, where instead one conventionally uses some combination of compressors/limiters (per instrument for chord instruments and global for the mixdown)
