From my second post to this thread:
From my fourth post to this thread:
So it's not like I didn't explain this already, twice.
Sure, that's fine. But sometimes as you work on a mix you turn up the bass, then realize the rhythm guitar is too soft, and next thing you know all of the tracks together exceed digital zero. You could lower every track by 4 dB or whatever, but that's a nuisance when there are 50 tracks, especially if you have detailed volume automation that must also be adjusted. My point in this thread is not to tell people how to work. Only to explain that you don't have to worry about this stuff, even as others wrongly claim that you do have to worry.
I honestly don't understand your hostility.
I'm trying to help you! However, I absolutely support your desire to experiment for yourself. If only others would do that we'd have a lot less contention and less misinformation!
Actually, I'm still waiting for Mister Facta to list the hit records he's produced, or even post some of his music for us to listen to. I'm also waiting for him or anyone else to say which of those two mix files I posted were made from tracks recorded hot or not.

You sensing hostility is an obvious over examination again. Im still learning things regardless of the fact this thread has turned into an Ethan Winer workshop. I would also like to add that regardless of the files that you linked, nobody that has commented in this thread was there when you recorded it or how or what you did specifically. It is a pointless post with to many variables to be confirmed. That is not saying you could be lying but it does leave some room for skepticism, especially when you are trying so hard to prove so many people wrong. Every thread, blog, site, and professional that has this particular subject explained on the internet says the same thing as Mo Facta and the like. I surely didn't want to start this thread for debate, but like usual it ends in one. But the experienced opinion of the many outweigh the opinion of the few. Especially when it seems to be such a hard fought battle that seems borderline salesman.
I think that you must have a wealth of knowledge and experience but just like I would tell my kids, nobody likes a know it all. And i think that sometimes when someone researches and tests things to a point you will defend your findings no matter what findings someone else has discovered. And if you are saying that it doesn't matter if it is too hot of a signal or not why does it matter so much to you that you keep defending your findings? You get to your destination the same as everyone else so does it come down to the fact that your car is in better shape just because it is YOUR means of transportation?
