Yeah I used to find that a bit of a wind up. My mixes were all altered quite a lot post recording. My Sound Forge fu was / is pretty weak though, so it's probably quite noticeable.
I used to hanker after an Xone64 - that's probably really showing my age.
If I knew then what I know now, I'd have photographed all the settings. Never mind!

There are so many cool mixers that I would have loved back in the day. These spring to mind. Couple of Vestax, the classic Technics one and the outrageously futuristic Pioneer.
I started out with something akin to Buck Roger’s console (plastic Vestax thing). Then I had an absolute POS Numark which made me swear to avoid that brand forever - found a pic. Then I got the Tascam XS-4 which served me well for years and I still absolutely love.

Hahaha. Sounds like the situation I have with little fingers all over my amp.
I tend to have it set slightly down the slope from the shortest cut-in, so the incoming track is at about 80%-85%, but I’ve been just using the upfaders mostly now. One thing I’ve not gotten along with on the Xone is the gains at the back. I find there’s a huge amount of variation in pressing volume in my collection, which I’ve adapted to compensate with via the headroom on the upfaders - which in fairness is quite a lot.
