AutoGain is a gain rider plugin designed to automatically adjust the volume of a track, ensuring that its level remains consistent throughout the entire mix. It detects when parts of the audio become too prominent or too quiet and makes precise level adjustments to maintain a balanced presence in the mix. This dynamic control helps keep the track’s position steady without manual intervention, making it ideal for managing fluctuating audio performances.

What sets AutoGain apart is its operation in the spectral domain, allowing it to address level changes based on frequency content rather than just overall loudness. This capability is especially useful when two audio signals share the same decibel level but differ in frequency range, enabling the plugin to focus gain adjustments on specific spectral regions. Additionally, the plugin includes a Dry/Wet control that lets users fine-tune the amount of gain correction applied, providing flexibility to achieve a more natural sound if the processed audio feels overly uniform.

AutoGain is particularly effective for tracks featuring vocal performances, where recording levels often vary significantly. By smoothing out these inconsistencies, it helps maintain a steady vocal presence within the mix, enhancing clarity and balance. Its automatic gain riding capability makes it a practical tool for producers and engineers looking to improve the overall consistency of their audio without extensive manual automation.
