norfolkmastering Posted October 7 Share Posted October 7 I'm trying to find a way to lock my track input gains in their current set positions. Once I'm finishing doing the bulk of the recording for a project and getting into mixdown, I set the track input gains to a sensible position so that the levels being fed to inserts and FX are sensible. This is particular important for me as I use mostly analogue FX. It's just to stop me accidentally changing an input gain, or maybe because I need to experiment and then go back to the previous setting. It would be great if I could simply right click on a control and a lock to current position option was available. Has this ever been considered? Is there any work-a-round?

Xoo Posted October 7 Share Posted October 7 Create a new track view widget preset that hides the input gain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Baay Posted October 7 Share Posted October 7 Other options: Set the initial value in Offset mode - less likely to be altered inadvertently once you’re back in Envelope mode. Or use an Automaton envelope with single node at the start to hold a value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amberwolf Posted October 7 Share Posted October 7 Whenever I have an automatable control that I want set to a certain value, I create an envelope for it, even if I never auctually use it to automate that control, and then I hide the envelope so I can't accidentally move it. If I need to tweak that value later I can unhide the envelope and either change it for just that part of the track (most common) or the entire thing. I used to use offset mode for this but not all controls have an offset version, *and* then if I need to change this for part of the track but not all I still have ot create an envelope, so I changed to using offset only later on, for those times that I have automation but need to change the whole overall amount of something later. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
