This tool was designed to make gain matching easy and fast!

Have you ever seen a plugin that sounds so much better when you put it on? And later discovered that it just adds 1 dB of gain on everything?

Or maybe a new compressor, that has a fixed 2dB steps output knob? So that comparing before and after is a pain?

Or maybe a saturation plugin with no output gain, so that it's almost unusable?

Decide if it's better, not louder, in a moment!

GainMatch is an affordable and easy to use tool that we think
everyone should have in their arsenal.

Usage Scenarios:

  • Use this tool to get rid of plugins that do not improve your sound.
  • Use it as an auto-leveling tool.
  • Use it as a meter to adjust your plugin's output.
  • Use it in "Left"<->"Right" mode to get a perfect balance of hard-panned tracks.
  • Use it in "target loudness" mode to set your tracks to the desired loudness (for.
  • example, process guitars and basses with the same level across the album) or to the desired peak level (for drums).
  • Use it for testing compressors, saturation effects, etc. maintaining the same perceived output level.

Cool Features Like:

  • controlling "before" input gain reverse linked with "after".
  • mixing "before" and "after" signals.
  • one-click auto delay compensation.
  • variable RMS time and filtering.
  • adjustable auto-gain with gain tolerance ignoring minor level changes.
  • match "after" to "before" or vice-versa (while listening).
  • Stereo, Left, Right, Mid and Side modes (compare your right channel to left, control mid/side balance).
  • Neutral mode to use it as a regular gain knob with +-40 db range.
  • trim control lets you make adjustments in +-150 dB range.
  • optimized CPU usage.
  • auto-selection of group and mode upon inserting.
  • target loudness mode to match with a reference loudness or peak level.

The best $19 you will ever spend on your mastering chain. I like this better than the $150 Perception plugin (which I also own). It's faster with a simpler intuitive UI. Further, this plugin offers groups and thus can be used throughout a mix session. It might even double as a vocal rider by putting the source plugin on a steady oscillator (with no output). Very cool plugin, giving me some interesting ideas beyond what it was made for. Don't forget to check under the hood; there is a ton of great tweaks behind the gear icon.

These comments are all very well but frankly, given that I'm a relatively new (well, not very new) daw-user, I have of course the choice of manually handling my gain-staging or looking for an automation? I'm fully aware that most analogue-style plugins are designed to work optimally at an input of -18db but having used a few of these voodoo autos, they fail to give me enough gain. I personally think that, providing the input isn't initially and unavoidably low (rare), a simple transparent limiter will comfortably do the job.

In terms of maintaining levels the Waves vocal rider takes good care of things. It all makes me laugh: Everything is compressed to hell these days. George Martin did it all so well did he not?
