Having come from Cubase land, I had a similar question. What I have
found is that if none of your bus volume meters are clipping, a
mixdown of those buses will translate into a master file without
clipping. In other words, mix off of your individual buses and make
sure that nothing goes into the red. It works better than I ever
thought it could.
