fbs_targetGain

The fbs_targetGain adjusts the gain of your track to a desired target level as soon you press the "listen" button. Here are some case examples:

• In a mix-template where you already know what levels each instrument should hit e.g. kick -6dB, snare -6dB, guitars -12dB, strings -16dB …

• replacing instruments in a mix, without worrying about changing the levels

• Maintaining an already balanced mix after adding additional FX which changed the gain structure

Detection modes:

• short-term LUFS with a three second averaging window
• momentary LUFS with the 400 ms averaging window (for percussive instruments and drum samples)

The plugin includes a transient detection circuit to automatically switch to the appropriate averaging mode - when "auto-mode" is enabled. This will also automatically stop the listening process when enough audio material is gathered.

Fade time:

The plugin fades to the desired target level gradually (you can change the speed). For working in live situations.

Threshold:

To avoid averaging during silence, there is a user-friendly threshold.

Midi mappable:

All essential functions can be MIDI / key mapped in Ableton. especially helpful when working with a mixed template, and you want to adjust the gain of all tracks.
