We're considering making every YouTube video more specific to a certain genre or skill level. This would allow us to better help a specific person instead of keeping every video broad. If we went down this route, would you rather we put everything on this channel, or had different channels for different skills levels or genres?

I'm working on a mix of my own production in collaboration with an artist and I find that I always run into what shall I say, 'volume creep'? Basically, my master starts at -12dbfs, then I get excited about a part of the song, work on that, bring it up a little, then I see its sitting at -6dbfs. Now I'm adding compression, fx, and some modeling on guitars and my master is sitting at -1.7dbfs in some parts, mainly -4.5 dbfs. Any advice for dealing with this? It's like I want to hear everything and it's hard for me to turn things down when it's my own work. What should I be before mastering? -12 dbfs?

Hello! I just wanted to leave a link to a new song I wrote and mixed here. I know it is prosumer level but the amount of stuff I have learned here from you guys and these mix challenges is truly second to none. I was very skeptical when a friend mentioned this company, but after seeing what you do I have only good things too say about you and what you are doing and how you helping those of us who are just starting. I am indebted to the vocal mix challenge especially hours of which I rewatched trying to get things right. You guys are amazing and thank you. https://youtu.be/P4pkQsK-4vk?si=O9GQE7tbPQ4Fw4zO
