	makes you lights re-act to different levels of sound. take a song at regular and then up it from 1.6 to 2.0 the lights will be brighter for longer. This is my opinion from my using Vixen. Slink

	Noise gate is the minimum threshold at which the lights will react. Example: You have a voiceover that is 6dB above the background music; you can set a -6dB noise gate to discard anything below -6dB. The "1:6 expander" in parenthesis is there to give some additional information to those trained in live sound and/or recording and states less ambiguously exactly what takes place below the threshold. Gain allows you to compensate for recording level... for instance, if you are using W2E in a soft passage of the song you can add gain to make the lights respond brighter. Gamma Correction changes the linearity of how the lights react. LED users may need to compensate for the non-linearity of the LEDs and this is where it can be done. This can also be used for special effects, which I will document at another time.
