Makes good sense to me. I generally do this early in the mix process, since=
 summing tracks with high energy low frequency sound can reduce your headro=
om and play havoc with other processing (compression etc.). Of course here =
I'm thinking most of electroacoustic recordings or soundscape composition r=
ather than pure phonography, where mixing and processing would generally be=
 more minimal.
