Utility wont go to -inf, make a volume knob

Post by Dragonbreath » Sat May 28, 2011 12:32 am

Just reading trough the tips at this link http://www.heatercore.net/livetipslist.html

and one of his tips inspired for a issues that some people on here have been complaining about.

So being that automation in ableton can be a bit bothersome sometimes, Ive seen that people are using the utility to automate the volume on the tracks so they can make minor adjustments to volume without affecting the overall automation. overall a great idea, but utility doesnt go all the way to -inf...

Heres a real simple solution to this

Drag an empty audio effects rack, create a new chain and map the volume to macro and voila! problem solved
