Ableton Forum

Hey,

I got a problem, i don't arrive to have a good volume with my trak et between the other trak i created.

For exemple, the master volume which is moving when you start the song, it have to be in the green all the time or it can go into red sometimes ?

I m using reason for my sound and i compose on ableton but should i have to pass the midi sample in audio sample to better manage the volume on ableton ?

And i'm sorry about my crappy english ...

Thx for your help !

You can separately adjust volume on each track with an envelope, so that each track (separately) stays just out of the red, or so that each track has the volume you like. Envelopes are well discussed in the manual.

you mean import the track in wav ? Or put an envelope on each sound i have on my track ?

It's not quite clear to me what it is you're asking, but generally speaking you want to keep the master in the green. Individual channels can be in the red without clipping because of Live's 32 bit float mixing engine, although it's still recommended to watch the meters and better to leave them in the green all the time.
Recording midi instruments as audio does not neccesarily make it easier to manage volumes, but it kinda depends on your workflow.

If you are trying to match the perceived loudness/volume of two different tracks, you might want to try something like http://www.toneboosters.com/tb-ebuloudness or http://www.brainworx-music.de/en/plugin ... 3rr2l8ug75
