""It is not even necessary to hear what you're doing to set optimal levels. "

Kinda reminds me of how Roland is selling the Octa-Capture...they claim it will set optimum recording levels...I suppose we'll start getting mixing boards that will automatically mix albums "to optimum levels" in the near future...

It is not even necessary to hear what you're doing to set optimal levels.
That sounds accurate to me. That's what meters are for.

Don't confuse gain staging with mixing. Two different things.
