Discussing both the importance of proper gain staging and the nature of different kinds of amplification. The pitfalls of staging between plugins in a DAW, the sound of using gain that is emulating analog circuits vs transparent digital gain.
On the analog side: using tones to calibrate your gains, being aware of the audio effects of hitting transformers, op amps and tubes.
Most importantly, making sure that if you're using gain staging for creative effect, that it's really the best method to achieve the sound you want.  I make the analogy of using transformers as a creative tool to using proximity effect on microphone. It's there, and probably should be used to some extent, but it can also be a blunt instrument, and probably shouldn't be over-used when it could be combined with a more precise tool.
