Yes. There are actually some presets there that are specifically for acoustic guitar, vocals etc...

You can use the eq, compressor etc individually on a specific track.

So quick question, when i do my original bounce from my final mix....i want to make sure the master is NOT clipping, correct? I also heard i should want to peak between -3 and -6 DB on the Master fader...so to get this i can simply just lower the master fader so that i get a peak around that area right? (I tried using the ALL setting and lowering all my tracks some, but if i have any automation, it just goes right back up).

Then as far as dithering, do i put it in then, or during the mastering process....and finally...when i master i should have ALL my bounces together, correct? So when i get all the levels right, do i just make all but 1 track inactive, and bounce it, and then continue to do that till i have rebounced all my tracks?

1.I try to get my mix not over -6db.
2.I export it without dithering as 2 mono tracks same bit same sample rate.let the master fader at 0 db (no automation on masterfader) no plugs except TT RANGE DYNAMICS for example
3.I create a new session same bit same sample rate import my 2 mono tracks.
4.Following the needs
a)equalisation
b)compression
c)Stereo Field
d)limiter
e)Dither
But less is better....
5.Try to get yo master under -0,3db or -0,5db for security.

NB: all the levels in db are approximative coz you must use your ears first.
