Hi! Besides the volume control that audiomulch gives you in etc the crossfader, is there any "cleaner" method to amplify of boost the volume without making the soond too "loudy" and "noisy"?

If you just want to turn the volume up and down a Gain contraption would be the simplest way to do it.

If you drive the output into the red it will distort. Perhaps that's what you mean by "noisy"? That's called Distortion or in this case, Clipping Distortion.

If you use a Limiter contraption (e.g. SLimiter for stereo), you can turn up the Limiter's input gain and its output will be louder but with less distortion (basically the quieter parts of the sound will get louder but the already loud parts won't be driven into distortion, but rather limited to the ceiling).

Does that answer your question?
