mark skinner Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 I'm about 10 tracks in on a new song and lowered all the faders the same amount to control my master volume . The mix is where I want it and peaks are controlled. If I lower a track fader 4db on one or several tracks that have pro channel compressors , do I need to increase the input gain on them by the same amount to keep the compression the same as it was before ? I am assuming the comp. output gain follows the input changes. I'm sure there is a general rule for this that I haven't grasped . I like following rules First before I start breaking them .. Thanks ... mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scook Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 The track volume fader is after the FX Rack and Prochannel so, lowering the volume fader does not affect the signal going into the plug-ins on the track. Refer to the signal flow diagram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig Anderton Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 (edited) However, do remember that clip gain is before any processors. This can be to your advantage in some cases, like using clip gain to vary the amount of level going into an amp sim...if you add an envelope with an attack time, it's like your turning up the drive and hitting the strings harder at the same time. Good for dynamics! Edited February 8, 2020 by Craig Anderton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
