iZotope! Can I request that you do a Gain Staging Part 2, deep dive reference video in which you lay out the differences between Peak & RMS, how 0dB VU is referenced, -18dbFS RMS, 1.23v, +4dBU, what Nominal levels are, Noise Floor to Nominal vs Nominal to Distortion, Headroom, Dynamic Range, Signal to Noise Ratio, THD (Total Harmonic Distortion). Essentially EXPAND upon what you just did, but more as a Reference Material that everyone can point to and come back to for the definitive explanation of these fundamental audio engineering concepts. You could also expand upon (with visuals) what digital clipping vs analog clipping looks and sounds like, but also include the point in every circuit, or code where a signal goes from linear to non-linear, and how different circuits distort the signal differently. What do those distortions look and sound like? Even order. Odd harmonics. Etc Sam made reference to the fact that many people get Gain Staging confused. I would argue that if someone where to search YouTube and watch the dozens of GS videos, they'd be applauded for Not coming away confused. Hence my humble request. Settle this once and for all!

Needed this as a refresher, ngl I thought he was saying door instead of DAW for a minute. Accents are fun, thanks for making this video.

Glad I watched this. Ive been struggling to understand if I always needed to have faders at a specific level and I wasnt clear on the term itself. This was super informative. Thank you for this!

There's a tremendous amount of videos providing great technical advice on how to "professionally master" music, and the "sweetspot" of gain and keeping the audio from "clipping" and distortion, etc. However, I downloaded a bunch of top selling songs from the artists' own YouTube channels and placed them in my DAW and guess what? All the audio tracks from these "top musicians" clipped like crazy ā€” The VU meter literally lived in the red zone. This was especially true for rap, pop, dance music, etc. Moral of the story?: Top artists break music production "rules" whenever they see fit which is often.
