pulsewalk Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Is there a "Per clip" lossless volume adjustment? When I right click an audio clip, I cannot find an option for volume adjustment for that particular clip. I do not want to adjust the entire track volume, but only lower the volume on one clip. Also, I rather not use Process>Apply Effect>Gain, because that will "permanently" change the audio clip volume. Volume automation track adjustment is not really an option either, as it would alter the volume for the entire track no matter how many clips that's overlapping. Is there a way to adjust the volume on "per audio clip" basis? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scook Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Every clip has a gain envelope, change the edit filter to Clip Automation > Clip Gain to expose them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scook Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 If that is not enough gain, consider the free Blue Cat gain plug-ins. They may be added to Clip FX racks (every clip has its own FX rack) and have a much larger range than clip gain envelopes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you! That solved the problem! Although a bit more work than I hoped for. There's no way to add the clip gain option to the right click menu? (Changing the edit filter will do that for the entire track instead of only the clip I want to adjust). I'm however glad that there's at least an option to adjust gain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scook Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Try the plug-ins 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Vere Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 At around 10 minutes I show how to use clip gain. Once you have it set up it’s super easy to edit the whole track. Way faster than treating each clip with a CPU hungry plug in. And it’s non destructive 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andres Medina Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Here is another method: Just Ctrl+Click AND DRAG up/down on the Video.mp4 audio clip, and it will automatically engage clip gain. See video. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you really think the Blue Cat gain suite are CPU hungry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Vere Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 So you have 30 audio clips in a track you would then need to add a plug in to each? I was thinking the OP hadn’t tried using the clip gain properly. If you do then it certainly works brilliantly and takes no time at all to run through multiple clips in a track and adjust each. Nothing wrong with what ever method one chooses as long as it’s fast and simple. As you know there’s always 10 ways to do the same things in Cakewalk. I’m going to try @Andres Medina trick I didn’t know about that one seems exactly what the OP was after. See 11 ways to do the same thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scook Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 While my first suggestion was clip automation, if I have this 24 minutes ago, John Vere said: So you have 30 audio clips in a track you would then need to add a plug in to each? and wanted to adjust some or all of the clips at the same time would I individually adjust the clip gains or adjust one Blue Cat gain plug-in with the all the rest grouped with it. Not only that but using Blue Cat's grouping feature makes automating multiple instances of the plug-in very easy unlike using CbB automation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With clip gain in the filter menu it does. As many clips as you want. Click highlight all the nodes you want to move. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
