Change gain of selection (NOT normalise) in audio file editor

[presto music]

Anyone know where the "change gain" function in the audio file editor is? I can only find "normalise gain".

In Logic 9, I could double click an audio region to open the sample editor (now the audio file editor, I believe?) and then make a selection and choose "change gain" from the functions menu to input a + or - dB value and apply the change destructively to the selection. Mostly I use this for cleaning up and comping vocal takes (reducing breaths etc.).

This approach doesn't seem to be supported in X? What's the next best workflow approach in X? I have read up on other related topics but can't seem to find anything appealing.

Any help appreciated, and no I don't require a lecture about destructively editing audio 😂

Thanks!

You're looking at the Audio Track Editor. The Change Gain... command is still there, in the Audio File Editor:

However, there's very few reasons to destructively change the source audio file. You can change gain much better, quicker and non-destructive in the Main Window:

Excellent, thanks for that. And thanks also for the info on the other approach!

Oh one additional things I'd like to know, and this would be great... With the approach of changing gain in the main window non-destructively, is there the possibility of a keyboard shortcut to actually change the gain rather than having to click in the gain field? Clicking in that field is a real flow killer.

 

Thanks!
