I used to be able to grab the Event volume offset handle at the top of an audio event. Now I have to zoom in to reveal the teeny-tiny volume icon.
I can see why it was moved, to make way for the editable volume curve, but trying to find that volume offset icon is now a PITA.
Yep - same!
Maybe it’s good idea to have the legacy option as well?
It was a very handy and speedy way to change event volume…
This is a bit confusing. I watched the video about the new gain staging options: https://youtu.be/7V-KeEzFqzM
It was not clear to me that the clip-level gain control was no longer the handle in the middle-top. If you want to adjust gain for the entire clip, you now have to mouse over the clip, which reveals the volume icon (a tiny triangle) near the lower left of the clip. It is quite tedious to find the exact place to click in order to adjust the clip volume. That seems quite awkward compared to the prior method. I would have preferred them to leave the function alone when using the object selection tool. But I guess the concern is that they don’t want the clip volume to be confused with the range volume.
Using the range tool, gain setting is much like what clip gain setting used to be, but now you can do this gain adjustment, limited to a range within the clip, without having to slice the clip into smaller clips. That will be a very fast and powerful way to work, but much of my editing is at the clip level (which in my case is usually a 4-minute song out of a 60-minute live set.)
I guess I’ll get used to it, but the clip-level icon really needs to be bigger.
There has to be a better way than this. TBH I rarely used the Event volume, but I certainly won’t be using it now. I really can’t be bothered with selecting Range Tool, then selecting audio, then finding the volume handle. That’s worse than my poor old eyes trying to find the myopia-inducing volume control on mouse-over.
Steinberg - any plans to resolve this?
