Quick Question about Cropping Audio in Ableton

[Alextronica]

So I'm having problems with Ableton increasing the gain of material I've recorded into my computer after I consolidate the loops.

So I've recorded audio loops from my drum machine into Ableton

Let use one loop as an example

it peaks at -11.4

Volume of the master is at 0

Volume of the track is at 0

Gain is at 0

I drag the recorded loop (10 bars) from the session (where I recorded it) to the arrangement

I have the warp on

I have the loop on and I've selected the 2 bars I'd like the loop to be

I press Command+J and it consolidates the loop but now the gain is at -11.4 instead of 0 as I would have expected.

when I set the gain to 0 the wave form gets huge and much louder and peaks the master at .35 db.... not much but still confusing.

Its this normal for Ableton?

Got it

I was pointed out that I'm actually Cropping Audio and there is a Crop Audio option when you side click a sample in Session view

Thanks Y'all
