Gain Control
Switches
The gain control determines how much amplification is applied to the
audio signal in the first stage of the GoStudio’s audio processor.
Thisstageissometimescalled“pre-gain.”Pre-gainisusedwhenthe
incoming audio signal is at a very low level and the signal must be
amplified for the best results. Pre-gain is most often needed when
using microphones, since microphones usually output very low-
levelsignals.Butbecareful;applyingtoomuchpre-gaincancause

Thegaincontrolswitchsettingsprovidepre-gainasdescribedbelow:
off: No pre-gain is applied. Use this setting for line-level sources.
auto: This setting applies pre-gain that adjusts to the input audio
signal. The pre-gain is automatically reduced when the input signal
gets louder. This setting can be used with microphone or line-level
inputs.
low: A low amount of pre-gain is applied. This setting tends to work
best when using microphones in loud situations. This setting can also
be used for non-microphone sources that are a little too quiet.
high: A high amount of pre-gain is applied. This setting should be used
when recording very quiet or distant subjects using microphones.
It’s important to note that the gain control switch labeled gain 02 is
only used when recording from the combo jack inputs. This allows
you to dial in the appropriate level of pre-gain for each source. In
this case, the gain 01 switch controls the pre-gain of the combo 01
input, while the gain 02 switch controls the pre-gain of the combo
02 input. When recording from the 3.5mm input or the on-board
microphones, the gain 01 switch controls the pre-gain of both the
left and right stereo channels.
