Can I Adjust Volume In Clips?

Post by rbf737 » Sat May 02, 2009 5:22 pm

Or can I only adjust the volume for the overall track. Like if I have lead guitar for the verse, prechorus and chorus all in different clips of the same track, how can I change the volume on each one/is it not possible?

Otherwise I'll have to use multiple tracks I suppose but that lags my compy more.

there's a volume control for each clip.

select the clip, now look in the bottom left of your screen

I must be missing it or something. I'm running 5.2.2., is it different in this version?

do you know how to set the warp mode for each clip?
or where the clip transpose dial is?
there's a little fader right next to that

Ahh ok there it is thanks. I was trying to do it using Midi tracks but I can only do it in normal audio tracks I suppose, correct?

So say i want to use a digital instrument for midi, like a synthesizer. If i want to do like a verse, then prechorus, then chorus synthesizer in different clips in the same track, can I vary the volume levels for each part for that, for midi tracks i mean?

yes you can do it in live 7, no idea about live 5 tho. I use the envelope section to do it, can do it via the midi cc7 or cc11: volume and expression. Wouldn't be the only way of doing it either... Good luck :)
