Not exactly what I mean, what I mean is it possible to create a theme that has no mixer at all, just the track view. Is there a reason that is not a good idea.

You can just hide it. No need to have to ever see it.

I am struggling to see any reason why it would be a good idea. What would making a new theme achieve that hiding the mixer wouldn't? Seems like a lot of work for no particular benefit.

I've been instructed to use the mixer panel for subgroup busses. All your individual tracks flow into the submix/subgroup busses. Also all your reverb/delay sends will appear here. The legendary Tod was good enough to show me the benefits of such a mix approach.

The workflow then: individual tracks >> SUB-INSTRUMENTS/SUB-DRUMS/SUB-VOX/REVERB >> SUB-MASTER FX (this is where your master limiter/comp/eq goes) >> SUB-MASTER >> MASTER >> REAPER Master buss.

The reason for the two extra sub-masters is to offset clipping. You will never clip your master buss with these redundancies in place. You can also clip individual tracks and even the odd subgroup without worry.

This sounds odd, but it's actually much closer to an analogue console workflow than you might imagine. I found my mixes ended up much tidier once I adopted this method.
