## gain

gain — Adjusts the amplitude audio signal according to a root-mean-square value.

## Description

Adjusts the amplitude audio signal according to a root-mean-square value.

## Syntax

    ares gain asig, krms [, ihp] [, iskip]

## Initialization

ihp (optional, default=10) -- half-power point (in Hz) of a special internal low-pass filter. The default value is 10.

iskip (optional, default=0) -- initial disposition of internal data space (see reson). The default value is 0.

## Performance

asig -- input audio signal

gain provides an amplitude modification of asig so that the output ares has rms power equal to krms. rms and gain used together (and given matching ihp values) will provide the same effect as balance.

## Examples

Here is an example of the gain opcode. It uses the file gain.csd.

Example 400. Example of the gain opcode.

See the sections Real-time Audio and Command Line Flags for more information on using command line flags.
