Gain Staging solved!

I’ve heard and read many people commenting about volume levels adjusting when auto-gain is turned on. Even outside of DJay Pro, Tidal has that same problem (whether the normalization is turned on or not). I’ve found a solution that works for me in DJay Pro, whether you enable auto-gain or not. It’s called the Main Out Effect, which you can access from the Mixer drop down menu. I insert my Native Instruments Solid Bus Comp, using the Mix Bus preset and set the make-up gain to -3dB (you man wanna play with the make-up gain volume, based on whether or not you have auto-gain already enabled in DJay Pro. I had ZERO issues with the gain on my channels since doing that at my last gig a few weeks ago. I hope that helps.

Thanks for sharing this @DJ_Louric

Yes I agree, it’s a good solution for keeping levels consistent. A good transparent loudness maximiser can also help. VirtualDJ users often suggest LoudMax - available here: https://loudmax.blogspot.com/
