Hopefully I have an image of what I'm getting at.

At the Master Track LUFS look ok after the Pro Channel way low. Note this can just as easily be reversed so the after the Pro Channel the levels are higher. The point is the actual level is the one from the Pro Channel (as I understand it)

Maybe I am wrong. However when adding A maximiser to the Pro Channel rather than the Master Track FX I get a consistent result. (that tells me the Master FX is the final place)

Note this is an example not a real working project.
