It would be a huge timesaver to be able to select a portion of audio with the beam tool and have a key command decrease the clip volume envelope by a user defined increment (eg 3dB or 6db).
Use cases are -
vocal editing to decrease breaths in between lines.
Drum editing to reduce bleed between hits by a dB amount.
It would be a huge timesaver for my own workflow. Any thoughts?
I’m not sure if there is a way, but if there is, it will be in the PLE.
Anyways, have you considered getting a second scroll wheel (in a keyboard or other device) that you can map to increase/decrease event volume? That way you can get to ±6dB in the flick of a finger and you get much finer control. Plus it works with the gain line too.
That’s what I use and recommend.
There’s a command called “increment event volume” that you can assign to a key. Might be fixed to just the 1 dB though. In that case I suppose you could do a PLE repeating it. Also, it is for events and I’ve taken the habit of just separating things for this purpose, so maybe Henrique’s suggestions are better.
Just got to my PC. This is how to do it in the PLE (just set the parameter to how many dB you want):
I still prefer the scroll option, mapped to that exact parameter Mattias pointed out. It’s more flexible, you don’t need multiple shortcuts for different amounts and you can use it for both event volume and clip gain line (just select with range tool and turn the scroll to adjust).
You can use reWASD to remap any key in any device (it recognizes different keyboards, mouses, etc. and lets you create key combos and custom maps for each one independently). IME It works 100% of the time every time. AND it’s cheap. Highly recommend!
I’ll check this out. Thanks for the time taken!
I’ve a shortcut to apply “Gain” in the DOP. The value remains the last used, so it’s helpful to apply wherever you want.
Can this be of any help:
Macro DeEss
Edit - Split range
Tool - Object Selection Tool: Normal sizing
Audio Decrement event volume
Audio Decrement event volume
Audio Decrement event volume
Make a Keycommand
Use: Select range and use keycommand
you can repeat keycommand multi times
This is nice, but I’d like to point out that after the introduction of the new Gain Line in Nuendo, you don’t need to split events anymore.
Once you have your range selected, the “Increment/Decrement Event Volume” will act on the gain line just as it does on a separate event.
@henrique_staino That’s the reason why I deleted the macro @delta described after the introduction of the new features. It’s way faster now. Nevertheless, the old macro served me well back then.
