We've tried both methods, recallibrated, and come to the conclusion that the cure (lowering faders) is worse than the disease.

This is partly what I'm trying to figure out...for example...you have stacked BGVs....you know that 10 tracks of them tracked in hot are going to clip the Aux track their going through if run at Unity, and not only that, they would be too hot any way....so do you create a master fader for them, or pull them down, or leave them up and put a EQ with gain on them to lower the gain...??? I don't know
But also, I was originally asking this question from the standpoint of...
You have a project that you know is definately going to be mixed on the Sizzler 9000 of the day. You know that you're going to be running 48 outputs direct to console, therefore submixing minimally(sp) within PT...
Is the bit resolution and s/n then advantageous, changing your gain structure within the console (still trying to keep console faders at unity as well)???
Also, what is the consensus of -14 vs -18 calibration...I recently chaged to -14 and seem to think I made the right choice to drive the analog gear the right way. Cause it seems if you're calibrated at -18 and you're coming anywhere close to FS, that then there already possible issues already on the analog side?!
Thanks for the input, please keep the opinions coming
