Volume control

[jeffn1]

I guess different people do it differently. Here is my view:

In each rackspace, you are using a mixer (or maybe just a gain/balance if you are only using one instrument in the rackspace).

Then you would set up a widgets connected to the mixer channels you are using.

There is a great six channel widget panel that I now always just set up for each rackspace. (Thank you Joey!). It has all the meters and all the faders and knobs you would typically ever need. I love it!

Here it is:

6 Channel Template

Hi all, After much experimenting, here is my “go-to” rackspace for AWAKEN - A Tribute to the Music of Yes. As many of you know, Yes music requires an extensive palette of sounds for each song. So I begin each tune with a front panel with 6 channels tied to a 16 channel Audio Mixer in the rear. The upper Left button is tied to the Solo of each channel in the mixer. The upper Right button is open, and I typically map it to the “Bypass” of whatever plugin the channel is linked to. The Gain kno…

If you use setlist mode (like me) you might often use the “snapshot” feature to try to get the right levels within each song and across all songs in a setlist so you do not need to manually ride the volume as much. The “snapshot” feature basically allows you to modify any widget in the variation on a song and song-part basis. It is extremely useful, especially to get all the relative volumes lined up within a song and across a setlist.

I may be a bit weird in that I have my audio interface sitting on my keyboard and use that as a master controller for GP. I don’t think that is the norm.

If I am using internal keyboard sounds, I just use the volume controller on the keyboard. But, again I am a little weird (or let’s just say “in the minority”) in that I do not run the audio from my hardware keyboards back through GP. That is probably a better approach, but, for a number of reasons (laziness?!) I have not gone that route.

I hope this helps.
