I am interested in knowing more about the technique of tracking towards a general mix. What I mean by this is tracking your levels so that when all faders at are unity, the levels are already at a nice balance. What are the pros/cons to this method? I would assume your levels should be adjusted so that your hottest level is tracked at 0 dB analog / -18 dB digital, would this improve the signal/noise ratio? Any thoughts are appreciated!
