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. |

This doesn't seem right to me, especially if FL has a 32 bit Floating point format engine. As long as the plug-ins can handle overs, it should not matter whether or not the individual channel or master channel faders are used to control the master channel output to not go over. |
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. :tongue2 |

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. |
