Hello, 5piece! I watched most of your tutorial videos, and I've learned a lot, so thank you, man! I hope you can do a tutorial on how to mix hooks and verses, and explain the difference in techniques between them.

Im doing this all right now in logic pro using clip gain I'm about to make a drink and sit down and watch this, thank you brother for your timing and work 🙏🏽

I've been doing these for a while, and though it is time-consuming, especially when you have multiple vocal tracks, it makes a big difference. One thing about consolidating, though. Once you do consolidate, it's hard to go back in case you discover you missed something, so what I do is render the track into a new track and mute and hide the unconsolidated track to free up work space and processing power. That way, if you discover something went missing, you can always go back to the original track and recover it.

Great to know I'm doing these things right. Amazing tips! Great video production too! Another tip would be to print your takes with Autotune on them cause Autotune is not always consistent.

NICE! I really appreciate this content you presented because it's "right on time" with the phase of production I find myself in currently. I even more so appreciate your comments on clip-gaining. I'm curious to know if using a plug-in like Waves Vocal Rider would be beneficial in this regard?
