Yes... Ok, so if it's a demo or something like that, my goal is to peak at -0.3, and if it's modern hard RaWk/nu-metal, i'm trying to get the PRMS in the -5 to -4 range. For RMS, i don't care so much about that under those circumstances. If it's another genre, then it's all a matter of what sounds good & feels right... funny how that goes, huh?
If it's not a demo, and it's going to be mastered, i try to peak at just a db or two below zero, so the mastering engineer's got a bit of headroom to work with (if he needs more than that, then that means my mix must suck in the first place), and in this cirumstance, i also have no goals as far as RMS or PRMS goes, since if it's going to be mastered i'll probably yank everything off the 2-buss anyway, except for a slight bit of peak limiter, if needed.
