Set preamps for healthy headroom; use PFL and reference tones to normalize channels. more

Saved states for mixes, mutes, and FX by song/section, recalled safely during the show with scoped parameters. more

Consolidate to bar 1, collect files, export AAF/OMF for portability and long-term storage. more

Practice with limits (one string, two notes, one rhythm). Constraints expose weaknesses and strengthen core musicality. more

Formal filing that evidences ownership and enables enforcement in court; varies by jurisdiction. more

Secondary melodic lines woven around the lead. Aim for complementary rhythm and register separation. more
