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've noticed several times when "time" becomes an issue. Things get changed and people get confused as to what time a thing is going to happen in their location. Why don't you switch to 24 hour UTC time? That way everyone knows what time the event will be occurring even if they are traveling. People in fixed locations can simply learn their offset. Or they can simply type in... "What time is it in [ my city ] at 17:30 UTC 11/15/2026? Most everyone's phone, tablet, computers are tied to UTC and they will get an exact time. Aviation is all tied to UTC/Zulu. 2026-09-28T16:52:00Z Year-Month-Day(T=Time)Hour(in 24 format):Minute:Seconds(Zulu = tied directly to UTC:00:00) But again any search engine can convert normal spoken words. So "The show starts at 13:00 ( 1PM ) UCT on October 2nd" works just fine. If you live on east coast USA that's 9AM EDT 10/02. If you live in Madrid it's 15:00 ( 3PM )11/02 When a contest ends "at midnight" it's much more easily understood and can not be improperly calculated if the contest ends at 23:59 UCT 10/01/2026. It would simply eliminate all confusion even as time zones change through travel or seasonal standard vs daylight savings. Also it seems to me if you had an instructor in different time zone or a mentor call and one party or both need to quickly coordinate a time. Anyway just a thought. If it saved everyone a couple minutes on all the varied communications, videos, etc., it would seem worth it in the long run.

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!

I was just perusing Facebook. My vertical feed included a pitch ad from Seids. She’s hawking the Mixing & Mastering Cheat Sheet Binder. Get it by signing onto her website. And if you want to pick up a ton of Logic tips and methods, buy her book. Sabrina really knows her stuff. She has a ton of instructional YT vids too. She just recently published a Logic for iOS book.
