Reading Results

After measurement, the preset table shows what MatchPatch found and what it wants to change.

Use this page before saving if you are unsure what a table cell means.

Successful Results

A normal successful snapshot shows:

  • its snapshot name;

  • its current output level in Out dB;

  • a calculated gain change in Delta dB.

Example:

Out dB: -4.0
Delta dB: +2.5

This means the snapshot currently sits at -4.0 dB, and MatchPatch wants to raise it by 2.5 dB.

Pending Results

During measurement, selected snapshots may show ?.

That means the snapshot has not been measured yet.

Ignored Snapshots

Ignored snapshots show - in the adjustment column and are styled grey.

MatchPatch does not adjust them.

Solo Stars

A star marks snapshots MatchPatch recognizes as solos. These snapshots receive the configured solo boost.

Custom Adjustment Notes

If you use a custom adjustment file, the table may show a blue value in parentheses.

Example:

+1.0 (+1.5)

The first number is the normal visible adjustment. The value in parentheses is the custom bump.

Red Cells

Red highlighted cells mean MatchPatch could not safely calculate a normal adjustment.

Common reasons include:

  • silence was recorded;

  • routing was wrong;

  • the output level would go outside the Helix range;

  • the measurement did not produce usable loudness data.

Warning: Investigate red cells before saving or trusting the adjusted file.

Failed measurement row

Recorded-Output Playback Buttons

If recorded-output capture is enabled, snapshot cells may show a small playback button. Use it to hear what MatchPatch recorded.

This can help confirm whether the Helix signal was captured correctly.

When To Save

Save when:

  • the selected presets have finished measuring;

  • no important rows are red;

  • manual edits look correct;

  • the numbers make musical sense.

If something looks wrong, fix the cause and rerun the affected presets.

After importing the adjusted file into Helix, listen through the setlist in a real playing context.
