Gain
This function allows the volume of a sample to be raised or lowered by up to 18dB. Note that this function is different than Normalization in that it will allow volume to be boosted beyond the point of clipping. This may be a desired effect, but be sure to watch your output levels!
Gain Amount
This field sets how much the volume is to be boosted. This parameter can be set to a maximum of +/- 18dB.
