Always incredible stuff! One of my favourite channels for a reason🤘 If I may make a suggestion, there's a slight misunderstanding with the definition of compression attack/release. Compressor attack doesn't behave like a "wait" function so much as it is a "rate" control. Attack defines how quickly it takes the compressor to reach it's full gain reduction potential, and release is the rate in which it takes to return to no gain reduction. When I learned this it really changed the way I could feel a compressor working. I know it seems minor, but I think for some people it helps to free them up from overthinking and get back to feeling compression and using their ears.
Also, remember, less is more. Some of the greatest music/songs of all time never had the luxury of plugins at all. Record everything without distortion/clipping, and NEVER underestimate vocal automation BY HAND. Buy an external fader for your DAW. Just speaking from experience
People struggle with mixing because they don't know how to balance. Even in the best mixing course they don't create modules to really get great at it. I know it's difficult to grab, but it crucial to master before anything else.
