Gain staging is a very hotly debated topic around the internet!

When getting started in music, gain staging meant something completely differently than it does now. In Ye Olden Days we were concerned with signal to noise ratio and tape hiss. We were always trying to print a signal that was super hot so that we would be well above the noise floor of the console and the tape machine's hiss.

Later, when first switching to digital recording one of the pervasive theories was that you needed to have a hot signal because printing a quiet signal would produce a degradation in what was being recorded and converted into a digital audio file. Whether that is true or not really doesn't matter these days because modern convertors are more than capable of accurately reproducing the source that is being recorded! You also don't need to record a super hot signal, just a clean healthy signal that is above the noise floor! This brings us to our first tip.
