A common selling blurb on a limiter is how it does it's thing transparently. So the main thing is to simply increase the average volume of the music. Nevertheless there will be some distortion of the loudest transients where the limiter kicks in (though it may not be audibly apparent). So unless there are overs during the initial recording on a percussive instrument like a guitar I would rather use a volume envelope if there were some note or series of notes I would like to bring up or down in volume.
