I played around with this to verify what was going on.

A couple of interesting discoveries:

- you can undo both gain changes and track analysis

- if you "clear analysis", this does NOT remove the APEv2 tags although
MP3Gain won't see the analysis anymore

- to remove the APEv2 tags, you must select "remove tags from files"
(by right-clicking)

- normally, when you use the Track/Album Gain button, it adjusts the
files' volume AND writes the tags, meaning you'd be double-adjusting if
you had SlimServer's Volume Adjustment on

- to get it to do what Aguida states (adjusting gain without writing
tags) you select Options - Tags - Ignore (do not read or write tags). 
This is dangerous - the program warns you that any gain changes you
make after this cannot be undone, i.e. you can never get back to the
original MP3.  It also reminds you with a "NO UNDO" notice at the upper
right of the window.

I verified this with MP3Gain 1.2.5 and Mp3tag 2.37a.
