🤔 Don't overthink gain staging...

Just adjust your next processor's output level so that it's a good level going into the next processor ✅

If it's too quiet, you'll be forced to add input level to the next processor 🙅🏻‍♂️

This could result in bringing up the noise floor 🥴

Yup. I once tried inserting vu meters in between every plugin on every channel. Conclusion? Only a few gave any useful information and some plugins needed more than unity going in to make them effective. In mixing I only use them now for gain staging if a plug has no metering or to solve a problem! Wise words!

This “noise floor” apply too to digital sounds? Like synths? Thanks.

Increasing the input will result in the same increase in noise floor as increasing the output

Gain staging is overrated in the digital domain. Specially if you are all in the box

Looks like all the bobbleheads agree.
But this is bad advice, and something that can’t be explained in a YouTube Short.
1st problem though: what you’re describing is Level Matching not Gain Staging. A common mistake, but still a mistake.
2nd: it’s true that we’re in 32-bit float+ ITB, and that there’s not really a noise floor ITB (actually…), but SNR was only one part of optimizing your gain structure.
3rd: I’m still baffled at why so many mouse clickers are so eager to not learn the basics. Just learn it and it’ll be second nature.
4th: whatever Time you think you’re saving by Not properly gain staging is time Wasted ten fold chasing after what you should have done right in the first place.
But do you boo!
