Hi
I'm thinking harder and harder about my mixes and have been reading this

(written for renoise, but should apply to every DAW, so any ardour

users/devs, please speak up!):
http://www.renoise.com/indepth/tutorials/avoid-clipping-in-your-final-mi...
I didn't get why it should be better to have the master fader fixed at

0db. Well a tiny bit better, but still, supposed I have 30+ tracks, each

having (at least) a fader, does it really matter that much to have

another fader in there? I mean the alternative would be to pull *every*

channel fader down by say 1.5db if the track is clipping with 1.5db. In

such case I just reach for the master fader and pull it 1.5db, problem

solved.
I raised my doubts on the renoise forum

(http://www.renoise.com/board/index.php?showtopic=24975), and I still

don't get it, really sounds like either voodoo or peanuts to me.
Could all you clever and sensible people with good ears and technical

knowledge please enlighten me :-) Would it really make a difference to

keep the master fader fixed at 0db?
Looking forward to a second opinion on this very baffling issue!
