<![CDATA[Can't Add Positive Gain in HISE – Am I Missing Something?]]>Hi everyone,
I'm working on a project and I wanted to ask if there is a proper or alternative way to implement an input gain node.
Currently, I'm using an SVF EQ with a low shelf from 5Hz to 20kHz just to control the gain, but it feels more like a workaround than a clean solution.
I also tried using a Gain core node, but I noticed that the range is limited from -100 dB to 0 dB, so I can't boost the signal (for example +24 dB).
Is there any dedicated node, method, or better approach to achieve proper input gain control (including positive gain) without relying on an EQ?
Thanks in advance!

So a range of Β±24 dB would be a math.mul node ranging from 0.125 to 8.

Then you can change it back once you set the value if you need.

If you open the dsp network xml file you will be able to enter the max gain value in there.
