With default 24-bit digital recording resolution, the need to “print hot” is no longer necessary. All of that signal adds up, so be sure you’re not clipping and have plenty of headroom before you start mixing. Every track in your mix is adding some signal or “noise,” and they are all being summed to 2 channels at your mix buss/master fader. Giving yourself that extra 10 or so dB of headroom will allow you to do common mixing tasks like adding parallel busses for compression, adding effects sends, and more. Be sure to keep your stereo buss at unity, which is its optimum position! You create headroom by adjusting the levels of tracks feeding the mix buss, not by attenuating the mix buss itself.
