Overview

Nail your recording levels fast.

GainStage Pro is a gain-staging utility plugin that gives clear visual feedback on your input level before tracking. A simple face-style meter shows whether an incoming signal is too hot, too quiet or in a healthy range. The workflow is three steps: insert the plugin, perform at real volume, then adjust preamp gain until the meter reads well.
