Adjust the pitch of your instrument—using the tuning nuts on your guitar, for
example—until the center segment (at the very top of the ET1) is illuminated. This

Gain
This plug-in allows a constant amplification or reduction, by a specific decibel amount,
of an Audio Track or Bus Object. It is ideal for use in situations where youre working
with automated tracks during post-processing, and you want to quickly adjust master
levels. This could be the case when you’ve inserted an additional plug-in that doesn’t
feature a dedicated gain control, or you want to change the basic level of a track for a
remix version.
Note: The Gain plug-in replaces the previous Volume and Gainer plug-ins.
The old Gainer plug-in will remain in Logic to retain compatibility with older songs,
but it is no longer directly accessible from the plug-in menu.
Automation data is upwardly compatible for any existing Gainer instances.
Any Volume plug-in instances in older songs will automatically be replaced by the
Gain plug-in. Any existing Volume plug-in automation data will be understood and
used by the Gain plug-in.
Similarly, the Settings files used by the Volume and Gainer plug-ins can be read by
the Gain plug-in. If such Settings are used in a loaded song file, the Gain plug-in will
replace the Volume plug-in, and equivalent parameters will be set.
Parameters

This control adjusts levels from 96 to +24 dB, in steps of 0.1 dB. Press Shift while
