I try to keep too far out of the red on all tracks and find I don't have to have anything in the red to get a good sounding mix. But good to know so if you need a little bump on a channel and you still have the space in the mix to not clip on the outputs you can go into the red on the individual channels. 20*log(2^32) = ~192dB of headroom for 32 bits. Pretty high and why you probably won't ever hit in the individual tracks. > > Individual tracks are allowed to go over 0 dB. The 32 Bit floating > point processing of Logic has a huge headroom.
