New Track -6 db volume. Need it to default to 0 -ACID Product Family

Subject:New Track -6 db volume. Need it to default to 0 Posted by: geekazine Date:8/12/2014 10:00:12 PM I had this problem in the past. I tried to look for my post on it but didn't have the answer. If I create a new track, it starts the volume at -6 db. I need it to start at 0. I remember something about changing in the mixing console, however it doesn't default to 0 when I delete and create a new track. I have been clicking on that mixing console for over an hour and can't seem to set the default to 0.0 db. What am I doing wrong?

Set the Preview bus to 0 db. You can also over ride this by setting the default track properties to what a current track is. Right click on an audio track that is set to 0 db and select "Set default track Properties...". Peter Message last edited on8/13/2014 8:30:41 AM bypwppch.

Subject:RE: New Track -6 db volume. Need it to default to 0 Reply by: geekazine Date:8/21/2014 3:44:49 PM That is what I remembered. I have been setting the preview to 0, but every time I bring in a .wav file or hit the record button, the next track is at -6.0 db

I had this problem in the past. I tried to look for my post on it but didn't have the answer.

If I create a new track, it starts the volume at -6 db. I need it to start at 0. I remember something about changing in the mixing console, however it doesn't default to 0 when I delete and create a new track.

I have been clicking on that mixing console for over an hour and can't seem to set the default to 0.0 db.

What am I doing wrong?
