One thing that most people want to do after
recording and prior to mixing down a set of tracks is to adjust the gain
for certain sections of specific tracks. For instance, your guitarist
got a little heavy handed when he was playing fills (how did that happen?)
and you have to tone him down a bit. You can do this when you mix
down by adjusting the sliders in the mixer window but you may have to deal
with a number of other track levels at the same time. So, how do
we do this. It's really quite simple (although my first attempt was
a disaster). For the track on which you wish to adjust the volume
select arec in the mixer window.
Now just press play in the transport control, listen, and move the gain
fader to adjust the volume to taste. You'll notice that gain points
will appear in the track view for the selected track. The track
has been enlarged using the H button (in the track buttons
to the left of the editor strip) to select the largest size. This
makes it a lot easier to see what you are doing.
As the transport is rolling any changes made to the gain fader in the
mixer strip are recorded. When you are ready to mix down or play
the tracks just press the aplay button in the mixer window
and press play in the transport controls.
When you play back the track the gain fader should replay the changes
that you have recorded. If you want to modify the automation points
you can left click on the points and drag them in any direction.
Please note that this part of the interface is still under construction
so be careful.
