Gain Staging Explained: How to Get Cleaner Recordings Every Time

Gain Staging Explained: How to Get Cleaner Recordings Every Time

Gain staging is like flossing: everyone knows they should do it, very few people actually do, and the consequences sneak up on you later. This week on Inside the Recording Studio, Chris and Jody rip into the mysterious, often ignored art of gain staging and explain why your mixes might be suffering because of it.

They cut through myths, bad advice, and internet half-truths to show how managing levels at every stage of your signal flow keeps distortion in check, noise under control, and your sanity intact. From audio interface troubleshooting to plugin gain behavior that nobody warns you about, it’s all on the table.

Jody confesses the moment gain staging finally “clicked” for him and how it fixed problems he didn’t even realize he was creating. Expect laughs, mild heresy, useful recording setup tips, and just enough nonsense to remind you that audio is supposed to be fun.

Hot signal? Cold signal? Haunted signal? This episode’s for you.
