Mix SAFELY with GAIN STAGING!

[scottykomer]

As somebody who’s lost a family member to clipping, I feel that this is an important message.

Thank you, now I know how to act if I find myself in this dangerous position.

Thanks for making the comedic material that floats around in my head whenever someone talks about gain staging from an "expert's perspective.

[sizzloh]

Your words resonate with my own personal journey. I've been clipping free now for 12 years 14 days 2 hours 36 minutes and 3 seconds. I feel like I can achieve anything. 🙏🏼

As an individual who has suffered traumatic experiences due to clipping, I'd like to thank you for this vital information.

[THEFUTURESOUNDBEAT]

totally agree thats whats i do most of the time thanks for the remind

[controller]

I needed this so bad 😂 thank you. I was actually super worried about gain staging and I thought me clipping occasionally was a big deal.

Gain staging aint gonna be fixed with turning the faders down tho

[davejohnsonmusic]

Gain staging for me means, level matching plugins so I don't lose headroom. I don't really worry about input plugin sweet spots. If you know your system well enough, then you know where elements should generally sit level-wise in the mix.

This is important my family has a history of clipping.

Also turn it up your speaker or headphones to compensate.

Using the word symptoms is driving me nuts😭😭😹😹. Dr. GainStaging

How did you not crack even a hint of a smile during that?

[M-BLOC]

I’ve only noticed better results after I started mixing everything around -6dB, turning master really low and bringing it back up in the mastering phase… rather than cranking each track as loud as it can go without clipping.

[JustinHeronMusic]

My favorite way to gain stage is to record at the levels I want.

All my mixes are in the red until I export

[zarlok]

I think I understand... so if it’s too freaking loud that’s when the little red lights come on .... ok... I think I get that part.... but why do I have to turn it down? Is there a peer reviewed white paper on this? Has this been fact checked? Do you have corroborating testimony on this from properly credentialed experts?
