Hey guys,

I am building a live set with all audio clips. For every song I write, I'm creating audio clips for main elements (bussed to 8 total groups) and then I'm dragging these clips from the browser to my live set.

The manual is unclear on my question.

If there is some processing on the audio tracks within the song (let's say the fader has been pulled down a couple db) is this recorded within the audio clip when dragged from the browser to my live set?

So for example let's say my kick audio clip in the song is at -18dbfs RMS and the fader for that track has been pulled down by 2db.

When I drag this clip into my new live set, is the RMS still -18dbfs or is it -20dbfs? (-20dbfs is what I want)

Cheers.

From my own tests it seems that any processing in the song is not being carried over into the live set. So I need to freeze and flatten before dragging over but I'd like to be sure.

This is of course not stored with the clip, it's an operation on the track.

But the clip has a gain fader in the sample frame. You pull that down and hit the save button two rows above in the sample frame. This stores the gain setting to the .asd-file that corresponds with the clip, so it's non destructive, i.e. doesn't change the sample file itself.
