Well, there wasn't really enough to search on. The closest I came was this thread, but it doesn't mention channel tools. However there was an article about DAW gain-staging in Sound on Sound that may cover the information you want.
Thanks Craig. All good information. It just bugs me that I can't find the original post. I know I wouldn't have come up with the Channel Tools meter on my own. Oh well. Since my memory seems to be fading, I'll leave everyone with this piece of advice. "Whatever you do, don't get old".
