Why GainStage?
When you're mixing on Waves LV1, adjusting preamp gain shouldn't mean walking to the console or switching software. GainStage puts headamp control exactly where you need it – on the same screens as your mix.
Direct Preamp Control
Full control over all M32/X32 headamps via OSC. Adjust gain directly from your LV1 position without diving into console menus or switching scenes.
Session Management
Save complete preamp snapshots per show and send them straight to the console. Festivals, tours, and venues become repeatable – without manual note-taking.
Always On Top
Overlay mode keeps GainStage visible on top of Waves LV1. Perfect for dual-screen FOH setups – no window juggling or alt-tabbing in the middle of a show.
Perfect For
Live Sound Engineers
FOH engineers using Waves LV1 who need instant headamp access without leaving the mixing position or interrupting their workflow.
Touring Productions
Keep a consistent gain structure across venues with recallable sessions – perfect for tours where changeovers must be fast and predictable.
Festival Engineers
Rapid changeovers between artists with saved preamp configurations per band – focus on the show instead of rebuilding gain from scratch.
