Wow. Your system for mixing sounds way to complicated to me. If I didn't trust the Pro Tools mixer enough to use it for volume and pan control, then I just wouldn't use it. In another thread, Charles suggests that the most important element in mixing is to have a concept for the song. I couldn't agree more. Any difference in the summing math will pale in comparison to impact of a well balanced and thought out mix.

I have the dithered mixer for Pro Tools, and I think it sounds a bit better than the old one, but if that were the reason why someone liked a mix, I think I'd hurl.
