Time stamp 15:02 "I train myself through the ears". That was the best take away from the Master Luca. As I have heard other prolific engineers say, the visual graphics are great tools that. are aides to supplement our ability but are not to intended to be substitutes for relaying upon your ears. Luca, a humble and sincere thank you for the $$$ million-dollar video. May you get it back exponentially!

I honestly feel because of tutorial’s like this one audio quality has gotten much better, especially Independent upcoming artists. I wonder if like 10 years from now music quality will be even better

just discovered the importance of this step today. Mind: BLOWN. Great vid thank u!

[michaelormondrobinson]

Thank you Luca. The first gain staging tutorial I’ve watched that talked about the importance of allowing for a change in tonal balance, without blowing off headroom as being the object of the exercise. As simple a shift in focus as that, has made a huge difference for me. Now I get it, totally, as a creative and not not just a technical concept. Grazie infinite!
