Take a musician inventory - I’ll share an example on the Q&A
Setting some goals in these different aspects of your music, but also have some future targets to work towards.

Re backing up your work, make sure you go through M03, L01 and use the HRA Saving System I outline inside.
Your personal system will need some trial and error.
I like to use a naming convention that means I can quickly see what it is but will also be searchable by project too:: FILE DESCRIPTION // INSTRUMENT // SONG // PROJECT

Saving to Dropbox or another cloud saving system is an added backup to your external HD and computer HD. Saving on Dropbox is easiest if you install it on your desktop >> https://www.dropbox.com/downloading But you don’t have to. You can do this with other cloud saving platforms like Google Drive or Apple Cloud.
Dropbox does have a monthly subscription fee, but in my opinion having that piece of mind is worth it.
Time machine backs up your entire computer - software, files, etc. It means that if your computer crashes, you have a backup on Time Machine to restore everything, not just your files.

I *think* you’re referring to consolidating numerous audio clips on the same recording channel so they become one audio clip? This is how you do this in Ableton >> https://bit.ly/3OGnD0G and Logic >> https://bit.ly/3IGQtdh

Does it sound like an echo or delay? If so it’s probably latency. This can be fixed by increasing the buffer size in your software settings. When you’re editing and mixing, reduce the buffer size again to take the load off your computer’s CPU though.

Mouth Clicks: There are some ways you can prep to avoid them beforehand and manually fix them after recording too >> https://bit.ly/3OvDxKy There are also mouth de-click plugins that remove them for you. I use the one that’s included in iZotope’s RX10 software (£££) >> https://bit.ly/3OuJJ5M But there are alternative versions out there.
