Hey Mr DaClark, You seem to be doing ok. It's a slow journey and I suspect the journey becomes more fun than the end. You seem to be making great progress. I've actually more or less given up on learning to mix / master. I'm too old and I'd rather play live/on-line, but I still find it very interesting to read what folks do and get tips to help me with my interests. Having said that, I seem to spend a lot of time watching videos put up on mixing, mastering by people on this site. It seems we don't know what we don't know until we're told:-) BIAB is a vast product used in many unusual ways. As you know there are live users, songwriters, backing track makers etc etc. Some amateur and some very professional. I watch with interest you journey re choosing a DAW, mixing production process(I think), and mastering and I admire your focus.

Goin?? That's where the world's been for 30 years...

That's ok though we all have to start somewhere and it's nice to see you here asking questions and learning.

You may not know what FAQ means. It means Frequently Asked Questions and you see FAQ icons all over different websites including this one right at the top of each forum. Click on it and read them and then ask about what you don't understand. We'll get you up to speed, no problem.
