Most folks know the name Mike Senior and have his books..... I know I do.... good reading by the way....

So here's a few links that will help you with common mistakes in recording and the second one is all about levels and gain staging in your box..... in other words.... in the DAW.

This first one is GOOOOOD!!!! read it, absorb it, learn it, practice it, do it.

Take the time to read and digest the information given in each....it will help you to understand a bit better, what you're doing and what's going on inside the "box" as you mix your music and apply the plugs.

You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.
