Gain Control (mono)

Scroll Prev Top Next More

This plugin provides a single audio input pin and a single audio output pin:

Gain

It allows the gain of a mono 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).

The Ø button is 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 Control parameters

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

Gain - allows you to control the gain.

Muted - mutes or unmutes this plugin block.

Magnitude - the magnitude parameter is used for level metering. Metering can be very helpful in verifying proper gain structure and ensure that a signal is not overloaded and distorted.  

Phase Invert - toggles phase inversion on and off.

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.
