Dunno. Maybe Ableton sucks catastrophic ass.

You can literally overload every channel and every native Ableton plug-in, and after lowering the master fader it won't make a world of difference to the sound.

Each and every DAW and sound engine has its own thing. I noticed in Ableton that I get more benefit from lowering each channel, instead of the master itself.

But then again, as I stated above, my DAW, apparently, is a flaming crackhead.

EDIT:

It does make a difference to me. I don't know if I'm hearing things (at 17 years old, it's pretty bad), but I do notice a slight difference in some tones when I lower each channel as opposed to the master itself.

The only way to know is to run a null test.

Either way, according to factual information, using the master or channel volume won't make a difference in the world. The knowledge I'm basing my information off of comes from my past experiences, and those vary per person.

You could have avoided this problem if you made mixing an integral part of the composition process.

Comeon I see some really dumb comments in here on offense.

You lower the individual channels because it gives you more control and more control = more power in mixing. Not sure how else it can be said.
