Though there are many workarounds if needed, it would be nice if there was some native method. (Beyond the existing clip gain anyway... Which is pretty clunky IMO)
FWIW- Blue Cats gain suite is handy. As are several offerings from Hornet. All either free or very inexpensive. There are others as well if preferred. I like combining a meter with gain control. Handy!
JST's Gain Reduction however isnt really a gain staging tool specifically- though I can see how the name could possibly confuse.
It is a dynamic compressor designed for heavy compression, aimed primarily at use on vocals in "heavy" music. It does have an interesting "purpose designed" nature to it.
But like many plug-ins, it does have input/output level controls that assist in gain staging, if that what you mean.
It's on sale for 18.99 here:Ian Craig wrote:Hi Mark,
yes, I meant I was looking for something to do gain staging when I came across that which obviously isn't but is class though
Bingo... That’s what I’m doing, as I still have much to still learn.What I need is to practice and learn more about some of what I already have in my collection!
Blasphemy! Heretic!!!!!! Filling these young, impressionable minds with such lunacy! Get a hold of yourself man!!!!!!Mark Bliss wrote:Repeat after me.... "No matter how cool it looks, I don't need another plug-in....."

eh. I guess this is the going trend but not a fan of that flat, boring, Valhalla look. A more 3Dish feel makes it feel like it jumps out at you more, more of a "tactile" feel if you know what I mean.ppayne wrote: 2. Make the UI only a bit more modern as other users says. But please do not lose the good MC usability. Some simple modifikation ideas with great effects could be: a) remove the gradients or glass effects to make it more flat designed,
b) remove the really old school wood bars from the mixer and simply replace it with a carbon pattern or something like this,
That I could go with, though it's way down the list of desired changes.c) make the dialog for choosing Instruments a bit more attractive in font sizes and colors. This dialog is high frequently used and looks currently a bit like a linux commandline editor.
You're crazy.3. Better sounding VST effects would be nice (reverb, delay etc.) and a bit more interessting UI for this built-in effects.
Hello and welcome to the Mixcraft forum.jossomjod wrote:You know how you can automate literally any knob in any synth or effekt?
And how the more advanced synths have matrices where you can set up an envelope, LFO, or step sequencer to adjust knobs and settings automatically?
Imagine if you had a matrix in mixcraft where you could set up an envelope, LFO, or step sequencer to manipulate ANY knob in ANY synth or effect the same way automation does.
This would make even the most basic synth or effect much more powerful.
Also, right clicking to eraze notes in the piano roll would be nice.

I know about Audio Control (I have watched most of the video tutorials). You can do the same things with Audio Control and Automation. The difference is that some things require less work to do with Audio Control than with Automation, and vice versa. What I'm talking about would make it a lot easier to do certain things which require lots of work to do otherwise.Acoustica Greg wrote: You should check out Mixcraft 8's Audio Control feature. You can use audio from any track to control any plugin parameter. It's a powerful feature that most people aren't paying attention to.
