Sorry, took that shot before the Clip Automation, I did it like you showed.
OK, so I went back and did the Clip Automation again, this time i dropped the level as far as it would go, which was -IFN, It worked! So I guess because the gain is already so high, the most gain it'll do is 6dB, which really doesn't sound much louder than the base gain. I'd have thought 6dB should have been a lot louder than it is, but its not as much as I want to punch that part up to.
So now.....huh, can I boost it 6dB, save it, then reClip Automate again? to raise it up more? Is that a thing?
