Automatic master volume dim when I press Record button

[Worthing]

Hi guys,

 

This is a Logic Pro X question, I'm on 10.1.0

 

I'm wondering if there is such a thing as an automatic master volume dimmer when I press record?

 

My problem is that I record a lot of vocals, and sometimes I forget to turn the master level down before recording and some music bleeding occurs (that bleeding wouldn't be there if I had remembered to turn the master level down before recording, I usually turn the level fairly down when recording vocals and only take it up once I'm done recording to avoid bleeding).

 

I know there is a Dim button in the master channel, could there be a way to connect this to he record button somehow? That would be awesome. Or some other way.

 

What I specifically don't want to do is to have to click the Dim button or use key shortcuts to activate it, because the point is that I forget to turn the level down before I hit Record. So I need something automatic. Otherwise I could just turn my soundcard's knob down, the point is I keep forgetting

 

Best, Hugo

Hi Hugo,

 

I strongly recommend you use headphones to monitor your mix while you're recording your vocals. That way you can have your monitoring at a comfortable level and minimize the bleed-through.
