Groove3 Dance Music Gain Staging Explained TUTORIAL

Join veteran Groove3 instructor and dance music guru Larry Holcombe for a video tutorial series on the all-important subject of gain staging, as it applies to dance music specifically. A topic that’s often overlooked by novices, this will help you take more control of each element involved in your mix—from metering to plugins and everywhere in between. By the end of the course, you’ll know you’re optimizing every signal chain stage. These gain staging videos are designed for users new to the subject.

Larry starts off by discussing the theory of gain staging and why it’s such a necessary aspect of music production when working in a DAW. You’ll learn specifics about making sure plugins (especially vintage ones) stay in their “sweet spot” for the best sound, along with other tips for maintaining a healthy signal level. Larry also discusses various metering options, including VU meters and peak levels, to make sure you’re keeping your levels under control at all times.

Then, after demonstrating the procedure for properly setting input levels, he sets up a good initial level for the kick drum, which will be used as the basis for building our mix. This ensures we’ll have plenty of headroom in the master bus.

Don’t neglect this crucial element of proper mixing technique any longer! This course will teach you invaluable tips for keeping your levels in check throughout your chain, many of which can be applied to other genres as well.
