My "previous method" always left the master fader at 0 and always had peaks between -3 and -6. A reasonable level of headroom, yes?

Individual tracks metered as hot as the master. So, I pulled them down. Sometimes WAY down. This is guitar/bass/drums/keys rock-type stuff.

What I'm getting here first and foremost is to understand and listen to what the hell I'm doing, and when in doubt, less is more!
