Just curious what levels people track to on tape?
I usually try to go hot on the MS-16 but have read some articles where engineers hit at different levels to maintain transients and avoid squishing instruments too much. I've heard a lot of good recordings on here - interested to see what levels you to try to hit with different instruments.

Edit - I'm using Quantegy 406 so the noise floor isn't as low as all the +9 guys out there… may have to consider the mod and switch tape so I don't feel the need to minimize noise as much as possible by hammering levels.
