GAINBAL

Automatic gain-staging for every track in your session.

GAINBAL Master

PROBLEM

Guessing your track levels, every single time?

Mic distance, vocal power, interface gain — they're never quite the same twice. Re-balancing everything by ear, take after take, track after track, quietly eats your time. GAINBAL automates that very first step.

HOW IT WORKS

Align it before you listen. Align it as you listen.

GAINBAL TRACK

AUTO CALIB

Uses the frequency balance of pink noise as a reference level and automatically measures the gap against each track bus's sound to calculate gain. One button sets that track's starting volume.

MANUAL CALIB

Listen to the pink noise yourself and adjust the GAIN fader so the track bus sound just peeks in and out of it, setting the volume by ear.

GAINBAL Track AUTO CALIB
GAINBAL MASTER

ALL CALIB

Sends a calibration command from the master bus to every track at once. Each GAINBAL Track instance is measured in turn, aligning the whole session's foundation in one pass.

LUFS TARGET + APPLY

Pick the target loudness for Spotify, YouTube, Apple Music and more, then hit APPLY. The gap between that target and your measured loudness is applied across every track's gain at once.

MONITORING

Studio-grade metering

Includes an analog-style needle VU meter, switchable Peak / RMS / LUFS-M / LUFS-S modes, and a real-time spectrum analyzer — so you can always see the state of your mix after calibration.

PRODUCT LINEUP

GAINBAL is made up of four plugins.

GAINBAL Track, GAINBAL Master, and PinknoizeGen are designed to do their best work together (one license activates all three). The fourth, GAINBAL Meter, is free and works on its own.

EACH TRACK

GAINBAL Track

Insert on each track bus to handle that track's own AUTO CALIB, gain management, and solo control.

MASTER BUS

GAINBAL Master

Insert on the master bus to manage every track at once — ALL CALIB, LUFS normalization, and metering.

NOISE SOURCE

PinknoizeGen

A helper plugin that generates pink noise for calibration. Insert it on any instrument track when needed.

FREE

GAINBAL Meter

A free metering plugin — just insert it on your master bus. No license required, and it works entirely on its own.

FAQ

FAQ

Are the trial and the paid version different downloads?

They are the same installer. If you already installed the trial, just enter the license key you receive after purchase into the activation screen — no re-download or reinstall.

Why does the audio cut out during the trial?

The trial runs in demo mode and inserts a ~1-second mute at regular intervals. This is not a bug — it is removed once you enter a license key.

How is this different from the free GAINBAL Meter?

GAINBAL Meter is a free plugin that only offers metering features. Features that work with GAINBAL Track — AUTO CALIB, ALL CALIB, and one-click LUFS adjustment — are available only in the paid GAINBAL.

How many machines can I use my license on?

Each license activates on up to 3 machines. If you reach that limit — say, after switching computers — you can deactivate and reassign seats anytime from the License Manager.

Is Windows supported?

Currently we only offer the macOS version (AU / VST3). Windows support is something we're considering for the future.

Can I get a refund?

Being a digital product, we generally do not offer refunds. You can evaluate every feature with the 14-day trial before buying, so please check it first. See our Specified Commercial Transactions notice for details.

If I'm refunded, can I keep using the plugin?

No. If a refund is issued, or payment is reversed by a chargeback, that license key is deactivated and the product can no longer be used. Deactivation takes effect within 60 days at the latest: when the offline period expires, or at the next license renewal before that.

How do I receive my license key after purchase?

After checkout, you'll be directed to a page where you can look up your license key by the email address you purchased with. The installer is the same file linked above under “Download the trial” — the trial and paid builds are identical.
