Clip Gain Question
Do any of you put EQ / Compressor / EQ on your instruments or vocals to watch levels in the compressor before adjusting or do you focus just on master level or volume comparison of ref track? The mastering Manual from here (the book) chain is similar to some vocal chains order , but daw tutorials sometimes do it a different way? Which way is your way? I’m looking at the manual from here as my guide but the daw tutorials sometimes throw me off track a bit. Trying to find my own way. Grey spot… Thanks!

For me, Clip Gain can be two parts: one on the region itself, and the other via a Gain Plugin. Generally, I do macro-level adjustments (clip gain) on the Region first, and get a general balance I'm happy with. Regions get split up, and I can really hone in on de-essing functions and such. It's tedious, but the results are often GOLDEN. Sometimes, I'll use Clip Gain on the Region to dial in 85-90% of the way there, and then dive in really tight (if needed) with a Gain plug-in and automation. All of this before I ever hit a Compressor or EQ during Mix stage. Think of it as a "volume only" mix. Panning is OK, but Zero Plugins other than that detailed Gain plug if needed on Lead Vocal or Lead instrument. My rough mixes usually are compatible with my reference (volume adjusted - that is, Reference peaking @ -10dB). There's plenty of Deep Dive opportunity/training for this method in TRE and Mixing Intensive. 😎

File Organization on Logic Pro Mac Zoom Session...
For those of you who might be interested, I'm hosting a Zoom session next Friday on the topic of File Organization in Logic Pro on Mac. If time permits, I can cover other Logic-based questions. I've set aside two hours for this. I believe I'm limited to 50, but, truthfully, don't expect near that many. We'll see, n'est pas?

If Santa offered to bring you a single piece of audio gear…
What would it be? Right now… for me it would be a toss up between a Massive Passive, Pultec… or The Swift from Thermionic Culture. I’ll let you know if I decide 🤷♂️

A special SSL bundle: A UF-8 and an SSL18. That'd do me for a while. I'd have a couple of items to sell, then, too...

Go to Clasroom->Replays->Links. That will show you an Excel-like sheet with the links to the replays. The associated chats contain the links to the multitracks.
