How to adjust the volume of clips, tracks and the mix

Tell apart the gain of a section, the volume of a track and the output level so you control the mix before exporting it.

Open QuickEdit

The editor interface is in Spanish for now. Button names appear in Spanish, followed by their meaning in English.

Pick the control for what you want to hear

Use Ganancia del clip (dB) (clip gain) when you only need to fix one section. If a track holds three takes and one is quieter, select that take and raise its gain. Volumen de pista (track volume) affects every clip on the lane, so it is the way to balance a beat or a vocal against the other tracks.

Decibels tell you how much you raise or lower from the current level. Try small changes, for example −3 dB on the music, and compare by ear. Use Solo to identify a source, then listen to all the tracks again before deciding.

Listen to the loudest moment

Play the part where several sources overlap. A single clip can sound fine while the sum goes above the level you expected. Adjust the lane that dominates and check the section again. If very short hits still jump out, you can try the master limiter.

Check the output

In Opciones → Exportar mezcla… (options → export mix), Comprobar niveles (check levels) measures the peak of the range you are about to export. Nivel de salida (dB) (output level) changes the exported copy of the whole mix. Proteger los picos (protect peaks) lowers the output when needed to keep the peak at −1 dBFS. If you want to reach a specific peak target with one global adjustment, use Normalizar picos (normalize peaks) and check how much will be applied before downloading.
