Pre-mixer Gain

Pre-mixer gain can be used to control program level independent of mic mixer levels. The pre-mixer gain control can also be used to compensate for any level changes due to processing.

See the Optimizing Audio Levels section for more information.

Adjusting Pre-mixer Gain

Each input channel pre-mixer GAIN block opens the Pre-mixer Gain dialog box that provides a mono fader with a gain range of -100 dB to +12 dB. The default setting is unmuted at unity gain (0.0 dB).

To adjust the fader level:

  1. Click the fader handle or click within the fader area.

  2. Adjust the level using any of the following methods:

  3. Click and hold the fader handle, then drag it to the desired level in 1 dB increments.

  4. Press the <Up arrow> or <Down arrow> key to respectively increase or decrease the level in 1 dB increments.

  5. Press the <Page Up> or <Page Down> key to respectively increase or decrease the level in 5 dB increments.

  6. Click in the level text field (resolution is
    0.1 dB increments) and enter a new value. Then, press <Enter> or press <Tab> to move to another area of the dialog box.

  1. Click OK to accept the changes and close the dialog box. Click Cancel to close the dialog box without saving any changes.
