Gain Staging Mistakes Part 1: Setting preamp gain

Gain staging is a hot topic, but it isn't anywhere near as difficult as people think it is. In this video we look at the first part of gain staging, which is setting the preamp gain. It's important to set the preamp gain low enough to allow good headroom, but not so low that there's too much noise.
