That's extremely quick and easy in Cubase or REAPER, where the pre-fader volume automation is reflected visually in the waveform. Studio One does not have that feature (yet, as of 2.6), unfortunately, and I'm not sure about other DAWs.We seem to have very similar approach to mixing process. Except that I don't print it as long as CPU power won't be complaining
Pro Tools has quite nice Clip Gain feature. And of course it's also before any plugins.
