RE: threshold v. gain redutcion
dunno x, don't use logic.
well, beds, there's some different schools of thought. A. Make sure all digitally recorded signals are peaking near digital zero for best audio quality. B. Record everything at close to their relative mix levels. The theory here is if you've got a ticky little hi-hat track, frinstance, that's going to be relatively soft, you don't have to turn it way up and then turn it way down. That means you're mixing in the good part of the fader and not fidgeting around the very bottom of it's range. but if you're compressing sumpin to get more of that in-your-face sound, it probably isn't one of those subtle background things anyway, so treat your tracking levels as the gain staging of your s/w mixer.
