Does Gain Staging Matter? 15:18
Course description

Kirk Degiorgio's back with us this week looking at whether we need to worry about gain staging when our DAWs can export tracks using a 32-bit float.

In this video, Kirk breaks down what 32-bit float actually means and then uses some examples to show how it can be useful in keeping dynamics even when your export is clipping.
However, our desire for older, analog hardware-emulated plugins can mean there are some limitations to how useful 32-bit float really is.

Check it out to find out more!
