Different Track/Clip Volume adjustment along it possible ??

[haydent]

Is it possible to say eg make the vocals chorus softer and the verse louder if they came out different than desired during recording ??

[Peter Widdicombe]

Several ways to do it. One might be to create a new track with chorus only?

If you've already recorded the "perfect" audio track, then you can split it and drag the chorus parts to the new "chorus" track you've created.

Thanks, i did think of that. Is there a normalisation option for just a track ?

If you have recorded verse and chorus as separate clips, you just have to adjust the clip volume. That's the way I do it.

Volume automation would do it too. Probably the most powerful/flexible way.

Split the clip at beginning and end of chorus using "/".
Highlight the chorus clip you've just created.
Drag a volume control onto the clip and adjust as needed.
You can add any plugin onto the clip you wish and modify it separately from it's neighbors.
Or you could use the gain control in the selected clip's properties panel.

There ya go. 3 ways to do it.

If planned correctly from the start, the chorus on a separate track is nice, in that you can control it nicely; volume automation is slightly more tedious in that you may have to "fiddle" a little if you move things around, but does a smoother job if the verse/chorus vocal transitions too quickly and you may have breaks otherwise.

Just another option, depending on how great the difference in volume is, and what you're trying to achieve, a compressor might suit to bring the volume of the chorus vocals down, then boost the overall volume, to make the sections more matched. But it does sound like manual adjustments using one of the other methods is more likely to be what you want to do

I was asking a similar question some time ago. It would be great if you could swipe over a section of audio to highlight and be able to adjust just that sections gain/volume. Without having to split clips etc.
Maybe the Devs could look into that possibility.

Doesn't almost every DAW split clips under the table (without beginners knowing), builds short crossover sections, and consolidates?
But it bloats the mix file and creates a complex structure in it. In that I love that Tracktion WF has a simpler file structure.

It seems like the most obvious way to handle this is to allow for that form of editing of an automation curve, which could then be applied to volume automation. Select a portion of a clip then drag up/down to adjust the curve for the selected portion, and maybe left/right to adjust the curvature of the fades in/out of that portion.
