The numeric semicircle around the top of the ET1 interface displays the amount of
variance—in cents—from the original pitch. The range is displayed in single semitone
steps
±
6 cents, and then in larger increments to a maximum of
±
50 cents.
If the incoming note is slightly flat, the indicator segments to the left will be
illuminated. If the incoming note is slightly sharp, the indicator segments to the right
will be illuminated.
When the pitch is perfect, the center segment is lit.
Adjust the pitch of your instrument—using the tuning nuts on your guitar, for
example—until the center segment (at the very top of the ET1) is illuminated. This
indicates that the incoming note/string pitch is perfectly tuned.
Gain
This plug-in allows a constant amplification or reduction, by a specific decibel amount,
of an Audio Track or Bus Object. It is ideal for use in situations where you’re working
with automated tracks during post-processing, and you want to quickly adjust master
levels. This could be the case when you’ve inserted an additional plug-in that doesn’t
feature a dedicated gain control, or you want to change the basic level of a track for a
remix version.
Note: The Gain plug-in replaces the previous Volume and Gainer plug-ins.
• The old Gainer plug-in will remain in Logic to retain compatibility with older songs,
but it is no longer directly accessible from the plug-in menu.
• Automation data is upwardly compatible for any existing Gainer instances.
• Any Volume plug-in instances in older songs will automatically be replaced by the
Gain plug-in. Any existing Volume plug-in automation data will be understood and
used by the Gain plug-in.
• Similarly, the Settings files used by the Volume and Gainer plug-ins can be read by
the Gain plug-in. If such Settings are used in a loaded song file, the Gain plug-in will
replace the Volume plug-in, and equivalent parameters will be set.
