Ok. The last couple of days, I've been puttting my console faders at unity and basically giving my tracks enough gain to sit in the mix but not necessarily printing high at all. A lot of time, peaks would go up to about -14 or -10 on my AD-8000.

Am I crazy for thinking that the tracks are less "constricted" sounding? Like the midrange is clearer. Maybe it's some sort of placebo effect.
