Would it be possible to consider giving the user the ability to change the value of the “Raise Selection” button in the envelope section? My personal reason for this is that I quite often like to give softer passages an “emotional” lift in level before it hits my chain, and more often than not, the value is 0,3 dB. Of course I don’t default to that automatically every time, but it very often seems to be 0,3 dB. For others, it may be 0,5 dB, etc.
As a workflow improvement, it’d be lovely to have the button (or more precisely, the hotkey) customisable for different dB values, especially as the current value of +3 dB is quite extreme from a mastering perspective.
The same idea could be worth applying to the “Lower Selection by x dB” buttons as well, or leaving the -6 dB and -9 dB buttons as they are and offering a customisable, general “Lower Selection (by user-set amount)” button as well.
That doesn’t really feel like a solution, as I never use the audio editor for anything, and I don’t want to be saving separate files. Being able to customise the value “Raise Selection” in the montage envelope settings is what I’m looking for here. Less clicking and dragging, leaner workflow!
I also use this quite a bit (although in WL 12 it’s often easier to just select the section and lift the envelope).
I have tried to save a user preset like you are looking for in that dialogue but for some reason this doesn’t ‘stick’ … that it is it reverts to the default at the next montage and clicking the created preset does not seem to work. I must be doing something wrong or missing something because the option to create a user preset is there for a reason.
Wouldn’t it be even better if the existing +3, -6 and -9 (and the 1 and 2 you are going to add) is removed and an option to input and slide values (and envelopes moving when sliding values if possible) for example 0.50, 1.24, 3.46, -5.78 (Normalizer for reference) that goes from -9.00 to +6.00 dB, can be created, and also be stored as presets?
This still works but from what I test, it looks like only one preset can be created, and WL has to be restarted to create another preset. This preset works for selected clips and not for selection within clips. Also, there is no option to assign key commands to this preset.
