Get gain right and everything else falls into place. Really!

Even though managing levels is one of the core concepts in live audio its still widely misunderstood. Today I hope to unpack exactly what the gain knob does (and how it affects the device its attached to) and how to use it properly.

We'll cover:

- Is it "bad" if your gain is super high?

- What levels should you be shooting for?

- Should you use a pad?

- And much more!
