Is the LoudMax limiter good enough to catch stray peaks on individual tracks?

hi guys, noob here.I'm still learning the ropes of mixing and I always try my best to do proper gain staging. However, just to be on the safe side, I usually put a limiter at the end of my individual tracks to catch any random stray peaks that might slip through.

Up until now, I've been using the native Logic Pro limiter for this job. The problem is that I've noticed it tends to color the sound a bit and slightly changes the EQ of the track, even when it's barely doing anything.

I'm looking for a free alternative and I found LoudMax. My question is: is it good enough to do this specific job (just catching stray peaks transparently without coloring the sound)? My computer isn't very powerful, so I need a plugin that won't kill my system if I have it loaded on multiple tracks at the same time.

Would you recommend it or maybe it isn't good enough?

Vocal harmonies in Dio's "Holy Diver"?

Hi guys, noob here. I'm working on a cover of Dio's "Holy Diver" and I'm trying to figure out the vocal harmonies. Most of the lead vocal is single-tracked, but on lines like "Ride the tiger...", there's a distinct harmony underneath. Can anyone tell me if those backing vocal lines are generally stacked in thirds or fifths, or if it's a mix of both depending on the section? Any help is appreciated!

Which would be the one Neural DSP plugin you'd use for a song with a single clean guitar, trying to be as spacious and ethereal as possible?

Hi guys, noob here. As the question says, I'm about to record an instrumental piece with electric guitar (think Ry Cooder but more atmospheric) and I'd like to use the Neural plugin with the cleanest, more expansive reverb. Which one you'd recommend?

Do you guys use Multipressor (or multiband compression) to control guitar palm mutes and chugs?

Hi guys, noob here. Back in the day I did read somewherer that using a multiband compressor (Multipressor in Logic) is a standard technique to control lows and mids when dealing with palm muted chugging high gain guitars. It would seem that producers/mixing engineers like Andy Sneap use it commonly. But I really don't know how to apply it, or if maybe a limiter would do... or if it should be used in tracks or buses... What's your take on this technique?

How do Collections in Gemini Notebook (former NBLM) relate to Gemini?

After a few days tinkering with Notebooks in Gemini I've seen that there's a new feature in Gemini Notebook (former NBLM) called "Collections" which are seemingly sorta like folders. However, I see the Collections in Gemini Notebooks, but I don't see them in Gemini.

Besides being an organizational tool in Notebook, is there anything Collections can do in Gemini?

PS: What a confusing way of naming features, Google.
