back to basics.. which maximum mix master level?

Hi friends! In early 90's, referring to 44.1/48k/16 bit masters coming from DAT machines, SVHS ADATs and so, people urged mixing engineers to stay at o db at the louder passes. However, nobody had a real reliable clip counter.

I have lost the number of how many times I received DAT tapes for my junior mastering with up to 64 clips at the left or right or even both channels.
