I’ve gotten in some big arguments about the audio concept of “gain” over the years. Unfortunately, I lost most of these arguments with more experienced engineers because I couldn’t articulate WHY what I believed to be true was actually true.

Now, thanks to this video from YouTuber Julian Krause, next time I won’t lose :)

IMHO, the best part is at about 5:30. This is what I could hear but could not convince others about.

Bottom line: Go as strong as you can with your gain regardless of where the dial is set and don’t argue.
