You can set Pre-Gain and Post-Gain values; that is, apply volume adjustments to the audio signal before and after effect processing, in the Inspector window.

To access the Pre-Gain and Post-Gain controls, unfold the Gain pane in the Inspector window.

  • The Pre-Gain value adjusts the volume of an audio signal before it is submitted to effect processing.

    Note

    Pre-Gain adjustments can have a profound impact on effect processing, as effects such as overdrive, distortion, and compression are highly sensitive to the input level.

  • The Post-Gain value adjusts the volume of an audio signal after it is submitted to effect processing. Post-Gain adjustments primarily change the overall volume of the sound, without altering the characteristics of the effects themselves.

Note

With the Clips tool window open, whenever you change the Pre-Gain and Post-Gain settings for a clip on the Gain pane of the Inspector window, the values in the Pre-Gain and Post-Gain columns of the Clips tool window are automatically updated simultaneously.
