Can you educate a know-nothing what 'gain' is in this context?

Well I'm likely using the wrong technical term, but it's the one most often used in my industry (in my experience). I'm referring to adjusting the original strength of the signal. That is, the signal level at the point it enters the audio mixer of the computer. I'd love to be able to control how that signal level is amplified, or at least make it easy for guests to manually.

I'm not great at explaining but if you search for 'gain in an audio context' I'm certain there'll be better explainers!
