Sonic you can mix your tracks however you want, i only spoke up in this thread because i used to reach for the master fader whenever i had clipping, and in a real world project (not your over simplified example case), it caused me problems.

When i stopped being lazy by using the master fader all the time, and concentrated on getting the channel mixes right before they hit the master bus, i got better results. I believe it's better practice to do it that way, i've fully qualified my reasoning, that is my advice and i stand by it.

For what its worth i agree with you that getting the right mix first is important. You can definately do it both ways! and i often do your way and my way in different projects. So I never said your way of working was wrong just was trying to clarify that you can get loud mixdowns regardless of master fader position due to gain structure.

your not saying im a troll?

I was beginning to think you were just trolling for the sake of argument because i thought i clarified what i said pretty well, but ok fair enough, i see your point

Ok cool, but you only just joined so you dont know me yet but I am anything but a troll. I contribute and its very rare that i even debate like this. I definatley would never troll especially for trollings sake.
