gain stage (101 course)
I use ablethon no logic, to normalize the gain i need just to drop down the gain of each track individually at -10db ?

I believe there is a feature in Ableton called Consolidate, which allows you to set the normalisation level for selected events/clips.

@John Rowley Just got it. What I found interesting (in search of a better description) was that it's free on Plugin Alliance, but not on Mastering The Mix's website. Forgive me if this triggers a "Really, Simon?" facial expression from y'all, but I genuinely don't understand the logic in doing that. Steinberg did that last year with Backbone, i.e. gave it away on Plugin Boutique while still selling on their website.

Anatomy of a Compressor - Attack and Release
Great demonstration and explanation in the How To Use Compression tutorial. Made me realise I only thought I understood compression.

I love it! I understand what you mean about the snare sounding 'choked' but it actually works, because my ears were able to focus more on the syncopation, the bold guitars and, the bit that got me the most, the choice of time signatures. Even though I'm singer/songwriter first and even though rok is probably my least favourite genre, I love the experimental possibilities of instrumentals. This body of work strikes me as a successful set of experiments. And Yes, I'm definitely interested in that essay being broken down. Nice one, Rob.

"This really sparks my inspiration and creativity" Exactly!
About Me
I'm a singer songwriter in Americana, Contemporary Folk, Country and Jazz Ballads on guitar and vocals. I'm about to begin recording a number of my songs in Logic Pro using various acoustic and electric guitars, piano (with excellent piano sounds and it's a midi keyboard), electric bass and vocals. I have a reasonable selection of fairly decent mics (dynamic and condenser - small, medium and large diaphragm). Unless I use a Cajon, there will be no drums (real or midi). I'll play all the instruments and do all vocals. I have some experience recording but mostly just down and dirty two track (guitar or piano and vocals) and not much experience mulitrakking. Recording and mixing will be done in my small home studio. a room that is anything but adequate from a recording "studio" point of view. My DAW is Logic Pro. My interfaces is MOTU M4. I have a small "portable vocal booth" (wraps around behind the mic to kill reflections) that I can use behind vocal mic (and guitar mics if need be). Acoustic guitars will be recorded with mics (single and XY) and perhaps direct. Electrics will be recorded direct using modeling amps and DAW effects and by mic'd amps (with or without pedals). Bass will be recorded direct with modeling amp in DAW. Piano will be recorded using both midi instruments (PianoTeq) and the piano sounds in the keyboard. My production will be aimed at letting the song be dominant with all vocals clear and up front. I want to keep the arrangements on the relatively sparse side instrumentally, with layers building and fading to serve the song. Other than having created several pieces of short music for a musical using Splice, I don't have any experience with sound design, looping, etc. I don't see myself doing sound design for this project, but would use some of that in the future. I'm in the process of working through your Logic Pro and Music Production for Beginners free classes and have your Cheat Sheet I live in the Adirondacks. Looking forward to this
