How much is "pretty incredible?"
You don't need to measure it. All you need to know is how much you were able to increase the level in your system. Do you not have a level control labeled in dB available?I didn't measure it.
I have no use for plugins, nor any programs that can use them. And I know how to maximize gain before feedback with no help from AI.And FFS, if you want exact numbers, install the plugin yourself and give it a testride.

Only when absolutely necessary or convenient.How much is "pretty incredible?" I thought you were German.![]()
Figured we eventually get some one making sense.i mean.. most of the times by altering my position in front of an amp i can remove most 60cycle hum with no real tonal penalty.
Nope. Once GBF has been maximized - as i pointed out, I know how to do that with no help from AI - it cannot be increased beyond that point. If an app can increase your GBF, then, by definition, you have not maximized it.Thing is, you can have *more* gain with this plugin before running into feedback. As easy as that.
A gate by another name....It was particularly nasty during the Axe-Fx days.
But there was a great work around, it’s a volume block triggered by envelope.

That's too easy, You had to have had far too much gain for the mic, its position, aiming, room, etc., or your mic wouldn't be causing "massive howling shit." IOW, you had set your gain to more than the maximum GBF your system could produce. Given that, all an app would have had to do is reduce the gain. I'm not saying that's all your app did, but gain had to have been reduced in some frequency bands in order to suppress the feedback. That's basic physics, as you are fond of saying on occasion.Blabla.
So, then tell me how I can sit here with my mic causing all massive howling shit, then turn the plugin on and get no feedback at all anymore!

No, that's you.You're talking nonsense.
The only way to suppress feedback with only signal processing is to reduce system gain, possibly, but not necessarily, in a frequency-dependent way.The app is not reducing gain.
I know what I'm talking about. You clearly don't.So stop talking out of your ass.
That is the correct term to use: more precisely, acoustic gain at the microphone: the SPL that sound from speaker produces at the microphone minus the SPL of the same, unamplified sound (for example, the sound of a voice) at the mic, (expressed in decibels, in case that isn't clear). Note that acoustic gain at the mic is invariably frequency-dependent. If the number at a given frequency is negative, then the system will be stable. IOW, it won't feed back at that frequency. If the number is positive, the system will be unstable and will feed back.And fwiw, why are you using the term "gain" anyway?
No. Gain is signal amplification and can occur at any point in a signal chain. Positive gain means that the signal at the output is stronger than the signal at the input. Negative gain (aka "attenuation") means the opposite."Gain" is usually used in connection with input gain.
When a system is set up by a competent practitioner, preamp gains are set so as to maximize S/N while avoiding clipping during sound check and then left alone for the duration of the event. If I tell a qualified audio technician to reduce sound system gain during commissioning/equalization of the system, (s)he will know not to "reach for the input knob."When you tell someone to raise the "gain" on a console, he'd typically reach for the input gain knob.
See above. When feedback is under discussion (as it is here), we must consider acoustic gain. That you are utterly unfamiliar with the concept tells me everything I need to know. I suggest you give it a rest; you're in over your head here.But we're talking plain overall volume here.
Never said otherwise. But I’ll reiterate just in case…gating digital stuff to me is just weird.A gate by another name....

No, that's you.
I’ll be pedantic about it. Guessing it’s called gain staging for a reason…Ok, but never in the history of ever has someone told FOH to turn the gain down when in reference to the main output volume. Otherwise carry on.
