Adjusting channel faders simultaneously

tablist56 · Post by **tablist56** » Tue Aug 14, 2007 4:32 am

is there a way to increase or decrease all the faders at the same time?

similar to how you can hold alt and adjust the size of the channels at the same time but with the volume sliders instead?

thanks

I had the same problem and asked the same question on another forum...this is the reply I got...and it works a chaarm

Assign all of your faders to one midi fader and then you can adjust them all at the same time.

Chinkies..

or group them & adjust the levels with just one fader

You can group faders in Live? Outside of a rack?

Does this require a hardware fader of some sort?

Yes, it is a live 6 MIDI mapping improvement they are talking about.

OK, I didn't quite understand the difference between Meef and Fly's reply, thought maybe I had missed some way of grouping faders INSIDE of live...

wait, hmmm, could I MIDI assign them and control a bunch of faders with a single CC message on a track?

the way i do it is create a return track (simply because i like my groups to be hidable & when showing not having to scroll), set your tracks to send only and turn up the corresponding send level

or you can create an audio track to do the same thing

"send only" --- cool trick, thanks, hadn't done that before!

yes I believe so but it is more complicated than just mapping to a knob or fader

so with assigning the faders to a single midi knob, dont mean to sound dumb but how would live interpret that?

i always thought that you could only assign one midi parameter to a single knob?

ie if im assigning a c3 for a stop, then i try and assign it to play, then the play midi parameter will overide the stop one?
