How to Gain Stage. This video will help explain what Gain Staging is, why it is important, and some tips for how to use it to produce in any DAW and perform DAWless with crystal clear mixes.
How to Gain Stage was one of the more difficult skills to understand when I was learning to produce. When I began my DAWless live journey, I had to learn it all over again. I hope it helps you avoid all of the searches and trial and error I had to go through. I explain Gain Staging in Ableton Live (or any other DAW), as well as in my Elektron based live setup using Digitakt, Analog Rytm, Octatrack, Digitone, and Analog Four. The same principals apply to Gain Staging in a DAW or DAWless.
