Knowledge Wednesday By: DAWsopenat7 No comments

This week's Knowledge Wednesday tip is to always remember to use the makeup gain on a compressor to match the output level with that of the input level.

If you've spent time balancing all your instruments and getting the right levels, don't make your work go to waste by using the make-up gain on the compressor and then losing track of the output levels before you added the compressor.

Matching the output level when using a compressor is all part of good gain staging.
