< What is the actual problem you have with the gain? >
HIs problem is that he has 2 mono tracks, grouped as stereo, with one channel
out of polarity to the other.
< Is it too low, then why don't just amplify your track.>
Out of polarity channels cancel, so no amount of additional gain will result in
proper playback volume.
< The way you put it does not quite make sense to me. What is your concept of
gain?
Usually inverting means inverting the phase.>
It's actually inverting the polarity, related to, but different than phase.
< If you do this with one channel of a stereo track your stereo picture changes
dramatically, but it does in no way influence the gain. >
He doesn't have a stereo picture, it's really 2 versions of the same mono
track, but with opposite polarity. Inverting polarity in this case causes near
total cancellation, depending on listening location relative to the speakers,
thus almost no signal. Inverting polarity in a true stereo signal cancels all
signal common to both channels, resulting in a significant loss of signal
strength.
