Hey, I'm the fool that actually spent time with my first converters trying to find the digi-noise floor. You have to try pretty hard to set analog up just to hear what's going on at -90 in 16 bit. In 24 at -110...
Relative black is a beautiful thing, no?

my meters go down to -120 and I still can't find a noise floor

I like 68 in winter and 72 in summer. But that's another matter.
If it's not a very dynamic instrument (cranked guitar amp) I'll go to -6 generally in the -12 area. I hate those little read clip indicators going off.
Anyway... who cares about dynamic range it's going to be squashed to have almost no dynamic range after the band wants it louder.

How much headroom do you leave for the "I play harder when I know they're recording me" effect? And overall, how do know how much headroom to leave when you're just starting the mix (ie. you have just the drums and maybe the bass)?
I guess that -besides sweetspots on analog gear- the perfect mix will be one that keeps building volume so when you end adding the last track your peaks are closer to the full dynamic range, right?
