How to: What is Gain Staging? with Studio One Prime - Part 2
Part 2 of the series of 'Mixing a Song'.Garbage In, Garbage Out, is a very common quote to virtually any process. Having a good, clean and natural input source, in this case audio, will give you better output.
So what is Gain Staging? In this video I explain the term and demonstrate how to achieve good audio path to have great mix.
I unbox, setup and give my review on a set of PreSonus Eris E8 Active Studio Monitors.
P.S. Due to the fact that while listening to the new speakers, I used 3 of the FREE newly released U2 songs from my iTunes account download, allowing me to compare with the latest commercially mastered songs. This caused copyright issues with YouTube, though only I played 20 to 30 seconds of each song with my comments about the speaker response. YouTube muted my first 3 upload attempts, then finally I added some music on top to cover the original U2 song.

Apart from having a great sounding studio monitor speakers, to achieve a good balanced mix, it is important to have balanced acoustics of a room as well. Even the best speakers will sound different when placed in a different size and shape room.
To achieve a balanced room, you still need to ring-out the room to find out the response of the speakers and then adjust to correct it.
One way of achieving this outcome is to use Pink Noise to ring out the room and using Equalization to correct it. And the easiest method is by using Behringer's Ultra-Curve Pro DEQ2496.
The Behringer's Ultra-Curve Pro DEQ2496 is a digital (24bit/96Khz) equalizer, and dynamics processor that can be connected between the Audio Interface Studio Monitor Outputs and the Studio Monitors' Inputs to digitally EQ the speakers.
In this example, I demonstrate how the DEQ2496 works and effects the speaker output to give me a flat response. I use Room Eq Wizard to test the results of before and after.

Since not long ago Tracktion released its T6 for free, I thought I'll demonstrate one of the interesting stock plugin option that not many are aware of. Adding a hardware audio gear track 'insert' plugin, that allows you to insert external hardware compressor or EQ into the track insert chain.
