Hello guys and gals. Uses for Clip Gain?

[Sardi]

Don't forget all the creative uses of clip gain.

You could totally change the feel of a drum loop by pushing up/down certain hits.

You could create sidechain style pumping effects by drawing volume curves.

You could shape the transients of drum samples/hits. Much more flexible than a standard transient designer plugin.

The possibilities are endless.

You can do the same thing with a bunch of clips selected but it's a little cleaner. If you need to ride that track during the mix that can be done at the fader level, but using clip gain this way generally reduces the need to ride or reduce the ride moves or the extremity of the rides. But it's great for keeping the level into inserts fairly even.

I absolutely love the clip gain line. I use it to ride vocals and anything else that needs volume automation. Very powerful.
