It also frees the mix engineer from worries of digital overs, if working at K20, which gives 20dB of headroom above the RMS level. |
So, basically what you're saying is that engineers have been doing it wrong for all these years? Plus I didn't know pro mix engineers were overly worried about digital overs, most operate at sensible limits and just mix away, this is actually quiet easy to do. How does the K-system give headroom pray tell?

Nope.

"Nope" what? was my statement incorrect?

Instead of referencing a track to the other tracks on the album, the track is simply referenced to the loudness in the room. Makes it all a lot easier.

Are you now saying that refrencing one track against another track on the same album is a bad thing? What does "refrenced to the loudness in the room" mean?
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but It seems that what the system does is provide visual aid to those who are not experienced enough to trust their ears.
