Usually when I mix I add vu meters, spectrum analyzers, I may add a ozone plugin to test my mix with a limited and a eq curve assessment. Should I add these things post fader. I’ve been adding it pre on on the regular plugin chain like in other daws. By I think it should be all post fader. I also don’t usually touch the master fader slider.
The best place to add monitoring tools is… in the monitor section.

Enable it in the options (by default it may be disabled) and add there (“Processors button”) all the meters, analyzers, phase-monitors and whatever else you like.
That way they stay out of the way when you export your mix/masters.
