Only in arrangement view you could automate the Master fader, but in Session View it´s still not possible. You could route all channels to one audio channel. But there is no way else (something fo the next version hu? :wink: )

Just route whatever you want to an audio ('group') channel ... same as in the 'real' world submixing...

In the arrangement window you can highlight all of the tracks you want to reduce.
Then in the sample/envelope window the clip volume icon now turns into a block shape. This now corresponds with the clip levels of the highlighted tracks. You can now reduce the volume of all the clips here.

Is the clip volume fader (under RAM button/right of transpose in 'Samples' window) turning to a block shape after highlighting multiple tracks ?
If so, try moving it and you will see that the highlighted clips envelopes correspond accordingly.

Whats up? levels ending up too high for a mix feeding into your poco mastering bits?

Pester me on MSN if you catch me online - will go through it - its prestty easy to sort out with an extra track to serve as a group mix.


Other thing I often do is use the live utility plugin as a gain controller when needed so i can maintain good gain staging to the live faders.

@ Silentmusic - thats fine for samples - TGND works with soft synths and Virus TI/Stylus RMX too.

Assign all your volume sliders to a single midi knob/slider, and set the high value of each volume to what ever you want manually in the midi param window, and the low to -inf or whatever you want... then turn the knob and watch. oo pretty.

if all the low values are set to -inf it makes for an interesting alogrhythm as the levels come down ... but if you want all the levels to lower at the same rate, just set the low value relative to each high value

so say -10db or something

This one reduces 'clip gain' and not the tracks Volume...

Use a utility for volume automation then track volume will be relative to any automation you are using, effectively moving the entire envelope.
