At present the normalise option in BIAB when exporting sets all tracks very hot (almost clipping in some cases). I set all tracks to flat & centred and export with normalise set. Then I pull the tracks into a DAW (Reaper) select all tracks drop the level to about -12dB then commence to mix. This way most faders require little movement. Then the last stage in my “mastering” process is to use a limiter (in Ozone) to lift the track to about agree with the LUFS meter requirements.

That way there is no clipping and things are fairly easy to mix most of the time.
