I find this work VERY well for me when recording rock bands. Especially when tracking with minimum EQ on drums..
I find it well worth the time to do a little pre-mixing before moving on to the overdub stage.
Reason.. at mixdown adding some HF to drums is quite common, but if really RADICAL HF or mid boosts need to be made to the gtrs - things can go a little nasty... IMHO it's far better if the drums (and bass) are in some sort of 'close to mixed' tonal zone - then all the folowing overdubs can be taylored to fit and not require TOO much alteration later...
