The Trick
Overview
The Trick v1.1.0 expands the stereo workflow, adds Input and Output Auto Gain, and ships a redesigned Support panel.
Stereo workflow
* Three routing modes are selectable from the channel mode switch: * Each routing has its own colour identity: * Chart curves, output meters and footer BROAD buttons follow the same tinting as the active routing, so the whole editor reads at a glance. * Independent L/R and Independent M/S expose a full per-lane EQ recipe.
- Linked Stereo
- Independent L/R
- Independent M/S
- Linked Stereo paints a warm orange flow across the lane.
- Independent L/R paints GAIN L green and GAIN R blue.
- Independent M/S paints MID magenta and SIDE red.
Auto gain
* Input Auto Gain stages incoming audio toward 0 VU / -18 dBFS RMS before the EQ lane. * Output Auto Gain stages the wet path toward 0 VU / -18 dBFS RMS before the MIX blend so bypass comparisons are close in loudness. * When Auto Gain is enabled, the matching manual gain knob is hidden so the section has one clear gain mode.
Mix
* Parallel MIX blend between the dry input and the wet EQ path, applied after EQ processing and after Output Auto Gain.
