Sure....it "could" give you a good mix....or it could just as easily prolong that goal.
I just don't think it's the best approach.
I can only emphasize....save your ears and sense of sonic perceptions.

Most of us (me inclusive) have sat and mixed for too many hours at a time more than once.....because we're impassioned by the quest for the perfect (for lack of better description) mix.
Developing a good, repeatable mixing technique is a time saver.

I'm well aware it's difficult to change one's mixing habits with suggestions offered here.
Using my approach at mixing at very low levels when I crank the volume to revel in my efforts I'm very close to the mix I'm looking for.
The vocals are up front and the bass sits well in the mix at all levels.
Only a minor adjustment is about it.

I'd suggest to try it just once with a song that's challenging your patience.
If you think I wasted your time....I'll buy us a pitcher of Sam Adams...or two.
If you actually prefer Hamm's....I know a good therapist. smile
