It’s worth mentioning as well that mixing in a modern DAW makes gain-staging a lot simpler - turning down the master fader to tame a hot mix doesn’t degrade sound quality.
That aside, a ‘trick’ I use is to adjust the track input gain so the meter approximately matches the fader position - just means one less mental conversion to make, everything starts in about the same ballpark and it’s immediately obvious if your take is too hot (audible clipping) or too quiet (audible hiss).
