This plugin provides a single audio input pin and stereo audio output pins:
It converts a mono audio signal to stereo and allows its gain 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 about the difference between muting and bypassing a plugin.
A balance control enables the incoming mono source to be panned across Left/Right channels.
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 (m->s) parameters
Besides the common parameters Bypass Plugin and Open/Close Plugin Editor, the following parameters for the Gain and Balance (m->s) plugin are available:
•Gain - allows you to control the gain.
•Balance - allows you to control balance (left-right).
•Channel # Magnitude - magnitude parameters are used for level metering. Metering can be very helpful in verifying proper gain structure and ensuring that a signal is not being overloaded and distorted.
•Muted - mutes or unmutes this plugin block.
•Phase Invert Left - toggles phase inversion on and off for the left channel.
•Phase Invert Right - toggles phase inversion on and off for the right channel.
The meter widgets provided by Gig Performer (available in both vertical and horizontal configurations) allow you to visually monitor levels at any point in the signal chain.
