Gain12 is a simple yet effective plugin designed to adjust the gain of an audio track within a range of -12dB to +12dB. It offers precise control over volume changes, making it an ideal tool for fine-tuning audio levels without directly manipulating the track fader. This focused gain adjustment range ensures smooth and accurate modifications, helping users maintain control over their mix dynamics.

One common application of Gain12 is volume automation when the track fader cannot be automated. By automating the gain parameter within the plugin, producers can easily create subtle volume changes and dynamic shifts with high precision. The plugin's limited gain range allows for detailed automation curves, enabling smooth transitions and refined control during mixing and production.

Gain12 also serves as a transparent solution for adjusting output gain without affecting existing fader automation or other plugin settings. It is particularly useful when previous effects reduce the signal level, allowing users to restore or modify gain cleanly. This functionality makes Gain12 a practical addition to any plugin chain for managing gain adjustments efficiently and accurately.
