Thanks Chuck and Bit...
When I start gain staging at the very beginning of a mix, I'd like to see all the tracks in console view simultaneously. In a perfect world, I could change the thickness of the "mark" indicator, locking the peak and listening to the song all the way through --- I then try to level all the tracks before I do anything else to try and preserve some headroom. I probably need to improve the levels "going in" in order to save myself some time.
This is my current workflow, but I'm sure there are more efficient ways

Thanks again :~)
