Gain Structure for Beginners With MXU

If you're new to audio engineering or just starting out in the audio world, understanding gain structure is a crucial step towards achieving a great and consistent sound. In this video, we're reviewing the MXU explanation of the basics of gain structure and showing you how to set it up properly for your specific needs.
We'll start by defining what gain structure is and why it's important for achieving a clear and balanced mix. Then, we'll walk you through the steps of setting up gain structure on your console, including how to properly set the input and output levels, adjust the gain trim, and use the metering tools to monitor your signal.

Thanks Landon

[@michael_b_drumming4856]

Thanks for the video! We run the Allen and heath Avantis and I would love to know what that magic number would be in the metering?

[@EnhanceDontDistract]

-17

[@raycarroll9664]

We ise the allrn and Heath sq6 what would be the number fort it? New to doing sound so you set gain then compression correct?

[@EnhanceDontDistract]

Yes, gain is first thing you do.

[@raycarroll9664]

Setting gain have been told to shoot for 0 is that a good umbet or should be little lower?

[@EnhanceDontDistract]

@@raycarroll9664 analog zero I believe is -17 on the sq series. Just below zero. I think if you are in between -17 and 0 you are in a good spot.
