Hey I've been thinking about setup of a new template.  I generally use a fair bit of bussing for submix/groups. Like grouping the kik and snare and tom drums to their own bus, then feeding those busses to a drums bus. Ditto for vocs guitars keys ect.

Gain staging is the most critical things we should learn to keep the integrity and quality of our audio recordings.

Tel me what you think? Anything I forgot? 

In this video I talk about how to deal with it in your DAW.

You can do a mix of this song on your own:

Hey all. I've been messing around lately with my iPhone, and a laptop, and tablet, and various Bluetooth speakers, and BT transmitters and receivers, to connect to my Scarlett solo interface, and powered computer speakers, and headphones.

I don't necessarily have a specific question, rather how do a verify some sort of standard gain stage, or whatever.

Hi,
I just grabbed an USB Condenser Mic for Podcasting. STRANGE! Input Level was so HIGH, peaked though I just turn the input level to 1/10 !

Need your help... what should I do? Is it Mic Faulty? Or...

Appreciate!

I'm addicted to Pultec's this month and want to know how sweet the high-endis on the SS compared to the tube version?

I know you are looking for opinions on these or have some if you are here.

HI,
All the while, I recorded my vocal & instruments like guitar directly from the Mics (condenser & dynamic) to the Audio Interface.

I've read a good bit about gain staging, and thought I had finally gotten a basic understanding, but when I experimented with how a now thought it should be done. disaster.

How hot should levels be going into the DAW? Peaks at -20? Should I make all close and far mics the same? Any other thoughts?

Hello everyone,

Can't seem to get a straight forward answer about gain staging with high-end gear . I'm using all transformer coupled preamps, API's and Dakings going into Apogee Symphony Converters. Up until then my recording peak levels into Cubase was anywhere from -20db to -12db on a full scale.
