# Preface

Following post is adapted from my graduation thesis in SAE Audio Engineering programme.

I continually see questions and confusion regarding gain staging, and this document is still relevant even though I wrote it in 2012. While some parts of it regarding analog setups may not have the same level of appeal anymore, it's still important to know where we are coming from even working fully inside the box.

Enjoy!
