So, keeping my gains/volumes low, carving out unneeded low end as I hear so much about saving headroom (there, we just saved 3.5 db of headroom etc), my mixdown before mastering looks almost anemic. Putting clipping, saturation, mild eq, compression etc then putting the limiter on it means really cranking the threshold higher than I feel like I should. Would bringing up the gain (in the examples below) +9.5db, which is what the second attachment shows before any distortion occurs, make sense before mastering?

In the Classroom I know they are using Logic, but I need help with FL Studio every class I have gone into is every DAW all except FL. I hate to ask this but is there videos that can be Created kindly and respectfully by one of you mentors to put into the current classroom? also I know one of the mentors on here use FL but they are not a part of the VIP membership pack as I was told. Feel kinda at a loss

I'm in a loop of productions. how do you know wnen it is good enough to call it done and bounce it to mixing? how much of the depth gets completed in production. how long should I spend mixing a production? how good does it have to sound before it's sent it to mixing??? I'm in 101 maybe all these questions will be answerd when I finish 101 and 102 idk. Anyway I hanen't played this song for anyone yet. any feed back from you guys would be great. I just started using some of the things I've learned here. sorry if I went a little nuts with delays atomation reverbs and compression still havn't masterd anything.

Can someone tell me where I can find the link to download the latest version of the Mixing & Mastering Cheat sheet binder? I've got the older version and I'm wanting the latest one. Thanks.
