@@xXThundersonicXxI wouldn’t say more important. Based on the engineer you are you could be input first or fader first. But input staging sets the balance before inserts so that you have expected gain staging/balance when going through threshold specific and non linear plugins. Moving faders first means that you only insert plugins when you have to control elements that keep you from having a good fader balance. I got an old video where I talk about this th-cam.com/video/aNiCq6EkirM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=lgmAHkZHgbAiuQZK (just scroll till you get there if you like)
All love But you have to improve your gain staging Game
The faders are Volume
your Input gain is way More Important
I did not record the tracks in this series. I'm demonstrating mixing only.
Why is the input gain way more important?
