so... after just doing a little experiment, here is what i find....
within pro tools.......master busses are different than aux inputs. an aux input seems to clip very easily. for instance... a recorded drum stem... peaking at 0dbfs outputting to an aux input will light up the clip meter on the aux input.. as well as the master fader.... now.. you push the drum stem(audio track) fader up to +12 and the aux input is distorting... here is where aux inputs and master faders differ.. if you pull the aux input fader down... the volume comes down on the aux input.. but it is still clipping.... and no dynamics are restored, that were lost during the clipping... but if you feed that same drum stem(audio track) with the fader at +12 to a master fader, it will be clipping... but... if you pull the master fader back, the dynamics return, and clipping goes away..
make sense?
peace
