Gain Plug-in
Gain amplifies (or reduces) the signal by a specific decibel amount. It is very useful for
quick level adjustments when you are working with automated tracks during
post-processing—for example, when you have inserted an effect that doesn’t have its
own gain control, or when you want to change the level of a track for a remix version.
Gain slider and field: Sets the amount of gain.
Phase Invert Left and Right buttons: Invert the phase of the left and right channels,
respectively.
