Hi guys, I've got a fairly broad (and basic) question that involves some very PT specific know-how.
So I have my rough mix set up, and I wasn't very focused on keeping the overall levels in check. I like the balance of levels I have (or at least, as a rough sketch), but the master level is clipping by about 3dB. What I want to do is turn down all the tracks uniformly, which I realize I can do with the <all> group, but I have some technical concerns with that.
First off, if I turn down all the tracks by, let's say, 3dB (I'd rather a bit of headroom, but that's not what I'm getting at), will that turn down the master track by 3dB as well? Or do they sum in a different way?
The second question I have, and one which has stopped me from answering this question for myself, is how to uniformly turn down all the levels when I have quite a bit of volume automation already happening. I know you can drag automation by its tail to scale the whole thing down, but can I do this on every track all at once?
I mean, I realize I can do this track by track, but I like the way my workflow worked thus far, and I feel like I'll be facing this problem again and again, so any insight is, as always, greatly appreciated. I'll try to keep this in mind when on future sessions, but when I retroactively add, oh, a bunch of stuff, I don't really know what it's going to be or how it's going to affect everything.
Right now I have my master fader turned down, which I think... I think... turns down all the signals before they're summed, but I don't know that either, and obviously I'd prefer to just leave the master fader at zero for reference. And to be as transparent as possible, none of my tracks clip, or even come close.
Cheers
