Gain staging is quickly becoming the main thing in mixes I am wrestling with. it feels like everytime I build up a mix my mix bus is just blasted and everything gets overcompressed and limited, so I have to go back and re adjust gain until I find headroom again. None of my channels seem too gain’d on their own but combined they get real intense. Does anyone have any advice? right now I’m putting trim knobs on my channels/buses but it feels like a bad habit to start.
