that just what you need as a mastering engineer....zero headroom   .

i am at the very bottom of the food chain so i receive on a daily basis all of the ^^ above and I am also the one to check for:
low bitrate mp3 *mixes*
Mono mixes
seriously DC off set mixes
Mixies with yo-yo lead vocals
mixes with the end cut off
mixes with weird artifacts (besides clicking) and all over the place
mixes with an instrument (like bass guitar) phase inverted
hip-hop and dance music mixes with teeny bass drums
mixes in session files of an obscure digital software
tyhe list goes friggin' on..............
Yo seriously, i have the biggest collection of the most ridiculous mixes submitted for mastering u'll ever hear
