Basically just looking into external mics for my phone and all the reviews for the different products I’m looking at are talking about “too much gain” and “not enough gain” and I have no earthly idea what that means. I tried looking it up, but it’s confusing as hell for someone with no know, who just wants to record concerts to listen to again later

To ELI5 think of gain as a bubble around a microphone that indicates the area the microphone will pick up sound most efficiently. When you adjust the gain, you are making the bubble bigger or smaller.
