Waveform

[pseudo]

When you select a piece of audio and make a volume adjustment is it possible to see the waveform get bigger and smaller as you adjust in volume view as opposed to waveform view?
I can see the waveform get bigger or smaller when I adjust clip gain in waveform view but is it possible in volume view.
I’m running Win Pro Tools version 10.3.9.

unfortunately not possible.

You could convert your volume to clip gain, its a nice feature.

Mind you that if you have a lot of dynamic volume automation and do this for your entire session it will create a HUGE extra load to the session size and RAM usage. Especially under PT10 this can cause more memory related crashes.

Not sure why but a lots of dots in the the clip gain blows up your session size significantly.

Also: Once coalaced to clip gain it's extremely cumbersome to continue to mix for obvious reasons. So you'll be constantly coalescing back and forth between volume and clip-gain if you want to mix like that.

Exactly! Got a predub the other day totally hosed like this. All volume to clip gain. All the cedars didn't de noise anymore.

Hmmm. Good to know guys.

I don't do it myself, I just thought it might solve pseudo's problem, clearly not!

I did look at my memory usage the other day on PT11 for the first time in a long while and I was using 16gigs!!!!

I'm guessing that session will not open in PT10.
