Batch select clips to lower sound levels in one fell swoop?

[David Roth weiss]

Lower one to the level you desire.

Copy that one.

Use “Paste Attributes” to paste the audio to the others.

Another option is to:

select all of the audio tracks you want to modify.

Hit “command” + “option” + “L” to get a dialog box that allows you to adjust the gain for all selected channels, either up or down by a relative amount, or adjust all to an absolute level, i.e. -18db.

Or:

select all of the audio tracks you want to modify.

Hold ‘control” and hit the “[” key to lower all selected by -3db at a time (the “]” key does +3db; the “-” and “+” keys +-1db). This also works for any track you’re parked over even if it isn’t selected – as long as it’s track selector light is on…

Hope this helps,

This is all great if you want to manipulate audio levels in the sequence but how about doing it at the browser level does anyone know how to do that?
