Multiple regions with fades HELP

[Fullsound Recording]

Ok Guys here is one that I must just be missing the function for.

I have many many small regions that I have taken hours to ad fades.
Now I want to normalize all regions while keeping multiple regions. This is all fine as that is a output choice from the normalize function but when I normalize its seeing the fades as regions thus normalizing the fades and not preserving the fades.
I have tried consolidation and that does translate the fades but then ofcourse I loose my multiple regions.
So my need is to get to the point in the end that my fades translate into the normalizing function. I DON'T need to see the fade function anymore I just don't what the fade being seen as a region when normalizing.
Any ideas on this one guys?

Fades are regions, plain and simple. Your request requires that PT "know" and differentiate various kinds of regions.
However, you could dup the track, normalize the dupe as a continuous region, Then group the two tracks (so the cursor crosses both as you tab), then use the original track to tab to where you want to cut and hit "B" to separate. If you have your zoom set right, this is pretty quick.. 2 tabs (if there is only one fade)"B", 2 tabs "B". SB

Just curious why you want to retain the regions? Would it not make sense just to DUP your original track, then normalize the DUP, and keep the original deactivated and hidden just in case you need the region boundaries later ??? That would put less stress on your system, when it comes to mixtime.

I need then to normalize all the little regions

Man this sux, I cant get over the fact that there is no way to simply render these separately. as in multiple combined select then render.

I will just render it all then use beat detective to find and drop in regions

That will work i spose

I'm not in front of my rig to try it, but how about "export regions as soundfiles" or whatever that is called. I think it's on the region list menu maybe? Does that incorporate the fade?

Pretty sure the method I described above is a lot faster, and more accurate if you want the regions to be exact. SB

Can't you normalise, then do the fades?
Are all the fades different or can you "control F" the whole shooting match?

You bet, Next time,

In this case i had about 100 tiny regions that had fades in and outs done.
