This is exactly what we do with the IsoMike DSD recordings: the second set of four channels is a few dB lower than the main set and on occasion it's saved my butt during editing. Because the two sets of tracks are in perfect sync, the edit is instantaneous. This is how we can avoid going to PCM/DXD in the Pyramix.
We don't have the luxury of riding levels, but that's offset with the fact that the IsoMike recordings are all done in the same hall and we are now pretty good at 'guessing' where levels need to be.
Michael, your method of using an acoustic noise source is excellent advice, thanks!
