I do. I only use a program like Audacity to finalize the mix. It has an ability to remove unwanted noise unlike most other programs. Then I set the volume to where I want it when I make a CD or a backing track.

If the mixing programs you're using are doing the job the way you want them to turn out I wouldn't change a thing. Stick to what works.

Hope that helps.
