CLIP AUTOMATION

[charles kasler]

In the track view under "clips," there is a choice of automation volume or clip automation gain. Is there a difference? thanks.

Clip Gain Automation affects the clip volume only (pre clip fx, and pre track fx), whereas volume automation affects the volume of the track post fx.

In other words,  clip gain automation affects the volume at the start of the chain; volume automation affects it at the end of the chain.

The drop down is called the Edit Filter

Clip gain occurs very early in the signal flow just before the clip FX rack.

Automated track volume comes much later after the track FX rack and ProChannel.

For more info see the signal flow diagram
