Music Production 🎹

Gain staging is keeping your audio levels balanced to avoid distortion and maintain clarity. 

Here's how:

Set levels: Keep volumes in a safe range (-18dB to -12dB).
Avoid clipping: Prevent signal overload.
Leave headroom: Keep some space below 0dB.
Monitor: Check levels as you mix for a clean sound.

Have you heard of the clip to 0 method?! I'm gonna try that next mixdown

You mean clipping the master or every channel seperate?

Hard clipping the channels or busses to 0 and then mixing them down to the correct level saves a ton of headroom!!
