GAIN STAGING when RECORDING? Get the Perfect RECORDING LEVELS

We talk a lot about the importance of gain staging your mix to get a great sound, but to get the best results, you have to start even earlier…
I’m talking about gain staging at the recording phase!

When you mix tracks that have been recorded well, a significant part of the work has been done for you. When tracks are recorded too loud or too quiet, you can run into a whole host of mixing problems that make your job unnecessarily harder.

In today’s video, I’ll show you some tips and tricks (and even plugins) to help get recordings right at the source.
