Imagine someone is starting learning mixing or mastering today. What's the one piece of advice you'd give them to help them succeed faster?

I just downloaded I Won't Back Down by Tom Petty as a reference track, and the wave file looks like it never went through a limiter. Nothing even close to peaking out. I even raised it a couple db, and still has plenty of headroom. I'm looking to do a Limiter Stress Test, and am wondering if I should put some limiting on this track. If you knew how long it took me to finally find an MP3 of it (amazon would only allow streaming) you'd know my frustration at seeing this track being so quiet. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

For those of you using LUNA, make SURE to check out the new LUNA 3.0 - I've always used Ableton, but got LUNA to have a look about 6 months ago. As with all things UA, it's tied to a lot of their other products, but it seems like the new version has been changed to be simpler to use. Woth a look...

hello everyone, i have a question. Do we tame transients on every track or only on tracks where there its distorting or cliping?

Interfaces! Which one do you use?
