Scroll Prev Top Next More

This plugin provides stereo audio input pins and stereo audio output pins:

Gain-and-balance

It allows the gain and Left/Right balance of a stereo audio signal to be adjusted. Clicking on the Mute button or setting the Volume slider to 0 causes the plugin to be muted (not bypassed). Click here for more information on the difference between muting and bypassing a plugin.

The ØL and ØR buttons are used to toggle phase inversion on and off. This feature is typically used by sound engineers (studio and live) for different purposes, usually to resolve cases where recorded tracks are canceling each other due to multiple microphone positions.

Gain and Balance Control parameters

Besides the common parameters Bypass Plugin and Open/Close Plugin Editor, the following parameters are provided for the Gain and Balance Control plugin:

Gain - allows you to control the gain.

Balance - allows you to control balance (left-right).
