01 / THE FIRST INSERT
Get the level right.
Then build the mix.
GainBrain is intended for the signal before its level-sensitive processors, not for continuous vocal riding or maximizing loudness.
ACTUAL PLUG-IN CAPTURE
GainBrain PRO
Auto Trim + Analog Print.
Analyze the source, set a stable input Trim with a 0 VU = −18 dBFS reference and monitor RMS, Peak and headroom. Optionally choose Iron, Discrete or Clean Line for the Analog Print path, each with Light, Normal or Print depth.

GainBrain prepares a track's level; it does not replace EQ, compression, automation or a full mixing workflow. For full-session mixing decisions, see MixBrain V3 ↗.

Shape when needed.
Use the FREE plugins if you only need input-level preparation. Upgrade to Pro only when Analog Print offers value for your workflow.
