Don't you love when you've been running audio systems for 40 plus years and within 5 minutes a 20 year old kid has already started to teach you something.

I just completed a 2 year audio production university program. This channel is still ahead of many professional information sources.

Teaching is a gift! No matter what you do in life, use your gift kid! One thing that’s hard for us older guy’s to wrap our heads around is the amount of people that are into audio these days. It used to be a secret society but not anymore. Plus, Re- teaching the fundamentals is …. Fundamental.

As an industry veteran of 45 years, I feel like you glossed over the importance of setting the gain of the pre-amp correctly. The goal of a pre-amp is to take signals that are microvolts (mics and DIs) and boost them up to line level. Every source requires special attention. A vocal mic typically needs more gain than a kick drum mic. Once you've mastered pre-amp gain, everything else downstream operates at line level. For me, the pre-amp is THE most important element of gain staging.

I’ve been watching videos on “gain staging” lately, and this is by far the most fundamentally sound explanation. Thanks.

I have watched literally every video on youtube regarding tutorials on mixong and mastering etc and I can say with full confidence that this chap is by far the best mixing and mastering teacher that I have ever come across - so happy to have found this channel today - thank you so much for the superb content!

Really amazing video. I have been watching a lot of videos on this stuff lately and this was one of the most in depth and concise ones I have found. Plus the way you explained things just cleared so much confusion up for me, I feel like I have a much stronger understanding of things now. Fantastic work, thank you.

Excellent video! I've been dabbling in audio engineering for about 20 years now, and everything you said is pretty much what I do.

Absolutely agree.... I bring all channels down to -12 to start and adjust each channel accordingly to give me about -3 to -5 headroom. I leave master bus alone or sometimes just add a limiter to get to 0 but honestly I turn the my speakers of headphones up to hear.... but the truth is in my opinion mixing low is great for preserving your ears and if you hear issues low it will be more pronounced when you turn up the volume.

This was great!! Learned a lot . Probably one of the best and most understanding tutorial I’ve come across

Very well explained basic concepts. It’s sometimes helpful to go back to basics. And you obviously understand very well what you are teaching, unlike other channels. Bravo!

I've worked in radio for 35 years, and much of that time has been producing audio...ads, promos, imaging, etc. It's been a lot of trial and error. Thankfully, I've found this channel to show me what I've been doing wrong AND what I've been doing right! Thanks.

This was the best video I've seen on this topic. I hadn't given this idea proper attention, that noise can increase in tandem with harmonics when applying a lack of source volume output combined with additional gain and/or excessive gain (amplifiers, exciters, etc). I have noticed that too much wideness on instruments can reduce head room as well. I found this was a common issue starting out but now I'm finding that it helps keeping instruments down 30% to 50% volume in the beginning stages while adjusting and mastering (compression/EQ/etc) afterwards. Thank you for making these topics so comprehensive!
