That is precisely what I want to do, and it doesn't work. The blending of the
tracks can be either averaged or added, and neither of those give the desired
result.

The rig already has predefined poses for each hand (relaxed spread and fist).
Just overlap those in the mixer spread them through the entire frame range and
mix.
You can go further and add the weight control to a custom parameter set.

I don't like the way the default rig does it. Having a slider for every bone
is just crazy imo. You might as well just animate the bones direct. The point
of my idea is to have predefined poses for the hands that are hooked up to
sliders, so you can easily blend into hand poses. Then if you need to tweak
those you can just animate the bones to override it. I just think it would be
nicer, and its what I'm used to doing in other packages. I guess this isn't
possible though.

Is there any specific reason you're going into the mixer for this? I find the
default xsi rig way of doing it is pretty decent, where you have a proxy
parameter set of sliders and also a set of saved actions on the bones for
different poses...

Is there any way to get the mixer to do a difference between tracks. What I
am trying to do is blend between static poses to control fingers. This doesn't
seem possible with normalized mixing or additive. When I say blend between
static poses I mean change the weight vaue for the track. So I have a track for
each finger position and set the track weights to get different poses. Does
that make sense? If theres a better way to do it, I'm all ears, or hands, or
whatever. ;-)
