Show gain slider

Show gain slider

Controls when the gain slider is displayed on QuickCarts. The gain slider allows you to adjust the playback volume of individual QuickCarts, which is useful for balancing audio levels between different jingles, beds and promos that may have been recorded at different volumes. Choose from three options:

  • Never: the gain slider is not displayed, providing the most streamlined interface.
  • When loaded: the gain slider appears on all loaded carts at all times, providing quick access to volume adjustments during live broadcasts.
  • When editing: the gain slider only appears when in Edit operation mode, keeping the interface cleaner during normal playback while still allowing level adjustments when needed.
