Default Turn all tracks down at once.

What if I have a session with 20 or so tracks, multiple effects, volume automation, several submixes...

The overall level is too high, clipping master bus...

What's the trick to lower every track at once to create more headroom, without messing up the session?

Thks,

Ed.

Click on any track, hit CTRL+A, then drag down any fader. All the faders will come down proportionately, so they retain their relative levels.

Depends on the complexity of the project routing, if there are submixes/folders and/or child fx sends that route outside folder/buss, compressors on folders etc. it's not going to be proportional.

You can place a volume control 1st in line on the master FX chain if you are that far into the mix already.

Alternately you could add a gain plugin before any other effects to the master track and lower that.
