@Caleb Loveless Thank you so much for including all the info in the Vocal Intensive "learning to learn" video. I've been struggling with so many of those issues from ADHD to memory retention, especially watching all the video tutorials within our community. How frustrating it is to watch the 10 hour EQ or Compression lessons for example, then try to apply everything that was explained as I begin the mixing process, only to scratch my head asking myself, "what was I supposed to do first?" Though I have used some of the suggestions in the past, I now feel like I have a better path to help with my issues....now if we only had 26 hour days to go back and implement them all with the past replays that I've already forgotten to remember.

I know some of you have already done this. I know some are on it right now. I am curious as to how/what you guys did or got to and such. I mean there is no one but ourselves checking out our work, unless we do a mentor call right? Well, we can check each others work out and then we can leave the more important things or whatever it may be for mentor calls. Though these are basics and probably as important as anything else, however trivial it may seem. Reference track analyses/eqing, do you guys build your profile with whole song, then eq by comparing the profiles? Or just parts of it here and there? Limiting to RMS -9, Did you do this over the entirety of the song, or by analyzing parts of the song? how did you go about achieving it? Some analyzers are momentary, and some build upon the value. Were you happy with the results after compression/saturation/EQ etc and then Limiting to -9RMS? Did you feel the changes were sufficient to the song mixes, or do you feel that they're just showing us some processes to ensure we understand what the tools do, to move forward? Something to get us all interacting I hope. \m/ I wasn't quite happy with the results I got, so I didn't bother saving the files even. But if you guys would like to check it or compare, I'll just redo a bit later when/if I get that chance.
