I have heard people talk about headroom on boards and certain boards not having enough .

excuse my naivety but why wouldn't you just pull the whole mix down ? would that not help ?

Also how do you know if a board has a good mix bus ?

One last question , if you're board doesn't have much head room or a good mix bus , would it help to put certain things out of stereo channels ? Would it give things like kick , snare and lead vocals more room in the mix ?

Thanks ,

Brett
