It's called arm-strong limiting. Highly recommended!

A little off topic but trim automation is pretty useful along these lines. It's post insert. I'll do some automating early in a mix with trim to get things leveled out a little before I go too deep. That way you have some basic leveling automation but you can still grab a fader and move it without it snapping back to the old level when you let go. Can be pretty handy. Interesting, I never thought about doing it that way! I will often pull out some gain on the first insert, and use VCAs and automation, but I have always applied trim auto last. Great tip. It's a great way to get some automation going without commiting to general balance level. It was actually a game changer for me when I started doing it. Also allows you to get automation going during overdubs when you know levels are gonna change all the time.

I think it's the stupidest thing in the world that Pro Tools ties the volume automation to the fader balance - it's a no brainer that those need to be independent, especially in denser mixes where balancing. If I was using it, I'd just be automating the gain on the trim plugin.
