So it's a system for inexperienced engineers? I ask this because experienced and/or professional engineers have been able to achieve exactly what you described since the dawn of this profession, without the K-System. It's called gain staging and using your ears.

Professional mastering engineers have also been doing this forever without the K-system. They get masters all the time where songs were mixed in different studios (in different parts of the world even), by different engineers, and they are able to create a cohesive sounding album with these parts.

It also does seem genre specific, because people seem to be calibrating their equipment based on the type/genre of music the're doing.
