Gain staging and the PT mixer
So Ive been reading and watching vids on gain staging. Seems that a common procedure is that when beginning to mix, bring up a mix window, set a fader at unity (0) and then use a "trim" or a "gain" knob on the mixer's channel strip to bring its reading on the meter to about -6. Then once all the tracks for the mix have been properly set using a gain knob, all faders are put to -inf and the mixing begins.
But these examples were not from PT. What do we do in PT for this without setting up a gain plugin of some kind? I mean sure i could use busses or vca faders or, maybe the volume trim automation, but what do you all do?
