Gain Staging

Gain staging is the process of managing [audio signal] levels:

• in recording and playback, to ensure that recording and monitoring levels are safe, healthy, and void of any issues
  • adhering to [audio-level-standards]
• in mixing and production, to ensure that
  • the mix is balanced levels-wise
  • each effect applied preserves the same level pre- and post-effect for the most objective A/B comparisons
