"1.) Give yourself some headroom... set a default template (if
you use them) so that all track channels are at, for example,
-6 or so, or simply remember to drop channels levels down as you
add them. Groups where you're using EFX on are ok to run at full
blast, since you probably won't be sending stuff to them that
hot anyway."
I guess no one saw my post to DJ the other day, that is what paris is doing
behind the scenes. It is dipping individual tracks by 20+ DB and boosting
the master by 20+ DB all without you even knowing about it.
The individual track meters read the actual level, but that is *not* what
is getting summed at the master.
This is the only difference I can spot between all other designs I know about.
It's definitely why paris mixes 'gel' for DJ.
You can't, and don't need to push the individual channels in other systems.
Thad's advice was good too, put a brickwall across the master and boost
there!
