If I export a mix via the Master Bus, my track gain levels affect the mix. True? If I export individual tracks, the track volume level does not impact the exported track? True? If I export individual tracks, the track gain level does impact the exported track? True? In a mix, when is it best to use gain instead of volume?

reginaldStjohn Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Just my 2cents. I use the gain knob to get initial levels going into the FX bin and track fader where I want them for things like hitting a compressor or saturator at a level I like. This might not even be necessary if the plugin has an input gain on it. In that case I use it to set an approximate level so my volume faders can be set close to the 0db level. This gives me more resolution when I am mixing and want to tweak the level of the track in the mix. You could also do all this with clip envelopes or destructively applying gain to a track and then leave the gain knob at 0. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
