Pro Tools command/shortcut

Post by audiosweet » Mon Aug 15, 2011 1:30 pm

So I have a mix i'm pretty happy with but is a little too hot. Is there a way to "select all" to bump all the faders down but also change the level to the tracks that have automation written as well? Those tracks are either in "latch" or "read" but i don't want to go back through and rewrite all the automation.

Put a trim plugin on all the tracks you want to lower. That way you don't have to touch the faders or automation.

Go to groups, select "All," then put the tracks in automation view, and drag the volume graph down on a track from somewhere beyond the end of the song...they'll all go down.

This is what volume trim is for. Or you could just pull the master fader down a hair if you're working ITB.
