You know when the music director says “Hey can we cut that from the tracks?”. I bet I know what you do when that happens.
Most people automate volume or automate clip gain. But, if you’re running tracks in arrangement view (which I hope you are!), there’s a much better, faster way. And I’m going to show you exactly how to do it in this video.
So the next time you need to cut parts from your tracks, try this hack. And then once you’ve realized how much of a genius I am for showing you this, then come back and subscribe to the channel. 😁
