Gain Rider

Gain Rider is a Max4Live auto gain plugin for Ableton Live by John Darque.

It compensates and “rides” the volume of an incoming audio signal to a desired Target. You can dial in a movement from 6db(-3,+3) up to 24db (-12, +12) in the box below the Rider fader. You can ignore incoming signals below a certain Treshold, in which case the fader will return to 0db compensation. Speed defines the time it takes in ms to reach the compensated values.

The Rider can be set to either LUFS or Peak mode.
