"But I have unlimited tracks! Let's use them! Now I duplicate the track seven times, for a total of eight tracks. The meters are showing about -13 RMS and about -1.5 peak. Hey, I even left a little headroom for the mastering engineering! This is guaranteed to sound fantastic and super-analog!"

This is what made me wonder what you were doing.

If you are running -1.5 peak, now that you are using the 'new method', What were you doing previously?

Were you slamming the outputs over 0 db?
If so, then of course it sounds better now.
