I do push to the upper limits with dynamics in the mix....I try to get it as hot as possible without distortion, so it may in fact go into clipping in some spots. I am always torn between dropping the entire tracks back to keep any clipping from occurring or trying to adjust the track back with compression for those spots where my playing dynamics may have gotten out of control.

I'm sure the best answer would be for me to gain better control over my dynamics when recording. I have to do a final remix mastering on the cut and will pay closer attention to your observation and cut it back.
thanks,
Terry
