Hello,
I am trying to learn the basics of audio electronics. First does anyone know of some good websites for that?
But more specifically:
What is gain control? I am finding it just means change the volume, so how do volume and gain differ?
How do sinks and sources fit into this? Is it so that to decrease the gain then a sink is used to decrease the voltage and vice versa for a source?
Also on some circuit diagrams I have seen, it appears that the signal goes straight into a splitter then into a mixer and then into a splitter again. I guess that can't be right? It is so a splitter is used to break up the singal for processing by different HW? So a low frequency might be processed by special HW to make an effect and then mixed back together again before being sent to the speaker?
-Thanks.
