The main reason he'd want both is likely because he's a dipshit who believes everything he sees on Youtube, where other dipshits talk rubbish because they saw it elsewhere. You CAN have as many limiters as you want. You absolutely don't NEED them all though. Remember limiting is distortion. You're chopping the tops off, exactly like what distortion does. Yes, it makes everything louder (which is likely what your friend wants) but you also add distortion on every channel, and on sounds that maybe don't need to be made louder.A friend told me that it's much easier to finish the mastering process with a limiter on every track and then a soft clipper on the master channel. Why would you want both?
Putting limiters everywhere is making a sausage out of lots of little sausages. Not wrong, but IMO not right either.
