Adding gain will increase the noise floor. First be sure and record at a decent level. Then I use my compressor gain to get it at the right overall loudness, and wait till I get the fader level in the proper zone before automating. Then just make adjustments to the fader automation. I like the gain from the compressor, since I use the SSL plugs. (You can always send the audio output 1-2 to an aux bus for fine adjustment post automation.)
