You can trust your ears, but can you trust your speakers and room colouration?

I'm not convinced yet on the clipping since I'm not that sure which plugs can be trusted.

you can always just throw a single meter after a given plug to check of course ...

There was a lengthy discussion regarding per-track metering in Audition because it has a floating point mixer. I'll have to take a closer look at the Tracktion implementation. If the Tracktion mixer behaves in the same way as the Audition one then a cool little trick is to take your favourite mix, ramp the volume up so that it's definitely clipping (red lining constantly), mix down to a floating point file and normalize the result to 0dbfs. The resulting file (assuming that the signal path is floating point throughout) will have no distortion whatsoever.

I tried this way, and came to the conclusion that I really like those led like graphics jumping up and down, so I'm keeping them; make me feel like I'm piloting an F18 or something.
Does that make me a bad person?

Yes...but if you weren't the bad guy, then how could the rest of us get to feel so self-righteous?!?
