I just recently started using sQ and find their volume control works quite well, but like you, I would not implement it in the way Sonic Studio recommends. No. Nada.
Need recommendation for Amarra sQ Gain Fader
I noticed that when I play an Internet station (like Pandora) using Amarra sQ, I had to increase the volume on my integrated amplifier to get the same volume when I play without Amarra sQ.
I then discovered that I had to change the Gain Fader setting to 0.0. I still do not understand how my Gain Fader setting was set to a large minus number that required me to increase the volume on my integrated amplifier. Maybe it was a Amarra sQ default setting.
The Gain fader setting range is +6 to -60dB. What exactly is the Gain Fader setting and what is the recommended Gain Fader setting I should use?
