Subject:Gain Posted by: Marc1 Date:2/6/2012 11:31:41 PM Could someone give me an instant where they would mess with the gain line envelope on their tracks.You got your track fader,you have your master fader.so why do you need a gain to ?
Subject:RE: Gain Reply by: Chienworks Date:2/7/2012 12:30:34 AM You might want to have the volume level change as the track progresses, rather than be fixed at one level for the entire track.
Subject:RE: Gain Reply by: Geoff_Wood Date:2/7/2012 1:34:16 AM You might want to split an event into many smaller events, and match up the levels (attenuation actually) by pulling down each to suit. Equivalent to a gain envelope, sort of. geoff
Subject:RE: Gain Reply by: Marc1 Date:2/7/2012 8:08:30 AM Isn't that what Volume envelops are for ?you can put points on them but not on the gain line.Lets see if were talking about the same thing,When I put my mouse hand to the top of the track it then says "gain"in which I can drag it down but not allowed to put Points on it.It really hasn't been a problem or hindrance but I am trying to learn about all aspects of home recording .
Subject:RE: Gain Reply by: Iacobus Date:2/7/2012 2:16:26 PM If you're referring to the gain setting at the event/clip level, I always thought of it as a quick and dirty way of adjusting (attenuating as Geoff mentioned) volume without having to fiddle with a volume envelope and/or not having to affect the other clips on the track. (As a bonus, quick fade envelopes at the clip level also work with the gain.) While it's true you could insert a volume envelope and work with that, there's no need to if you have just this one instance you want to work with and all you need to do is cut rather than boost the volume.
