Oblivious Posted January 14, 2019 Posted January 14, 2019 a Pre-Fader option for the Track Volume automation would be useful, if compressing a vocal track (or a bus of multiple vocal tracks) via a FX bin, I would like the signal going into the compressor to be consistent.
azslow3 Posted January 14, 2019 Posted January 14, 2019 I guess you mean "Pre-FX". You can insert any plug-in without processing with automatable volume as the first in FX bin and automate it. For example the "Output" of empty FX chain.
Xoo Posted January 14, 2019 Posted January 14, 2019 Doesn't BlueCat have a free automatable volume plug-in for just such cases as this?
Oblivious Posted January 14, 2019 Author Posted January 14, 2019 Hi Azslow not quite when you turn the fader down directly (eg with a mouse), the signal going into the FXbin (Compressor) stays the same (It doesn't decrease) the fader still turns the volume down but after it's gone through the compressor, but if you use Track automation, it works different, even though the fader turns down (automatically) it turns the signal down before reaching the FX bin (Compressor) affecting the compression, I hope I'm explaining this ok...

This doesn't sound right at all. If what you say is correct, then this might be a bug.
Xoo Posted January 14, 2019 Posted January 14, 2019 The Gain fader (and clip gain envelopes) works that way (PreFX); the Volume fader (and associated envelope) is PostFX.

Oblivious Posted January 15, 2019 Author Posted January 15, 2019 All good guys... It's is now working as I wanted... I tried it again on a fresh project and it all good, sorry about the post....
Oblivious Posted January 15, 2019 Author Posted January 15, 2019 (edited) should I delete post? since it isn't a Feature Idea... Just my bad...? I can't find delete post...? Edited January 15, 2019 by Oblivious more info
azslow3 Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 Well, the feature idea can be direct Pre-FX Volume automation with real-time waveform change. Plus the separation of Post-FX volume automation and the volume slider (so they sum and not fight each other). Also automation clips... Some DAWs have that and in some situations that is cool ? 1

Offset mode does this to some extent, but having automation envelopes and automation via the slider be one and the same is unhelpful and causes some unexpected behaviour at times.
