Next thoughts on this . . .
1. at what normalized average gain level do most plugins overload?
2. Say you normalized to 66%?
3. Is it better to do that than just rely on clip gain?
4. And is plug in overload necessarily a bad thing?

So, what I love about it is this: say there's a section of a guitar track (or whatever) where the level changes dramatically (maybe due to a pedal going on/off etc). You just highlight the section, command E to separate the region, and then adjust volume accordingly for that section alone. The fader for the affected track stays where you had it, and can still be automated later for effect. I used to do this using audiosuite to adjust gain, but then you either have to be very confident (usually not a problem  or remember to dupe the playlist before you adjust. |

Yes indeed. Two ways, in fact. 3 even. Place the mouse pointer at the top of the media item and shift click to drag gain up and down. Alternatively you can choose to display the clip gain knob on all media items. The third way is double clicking an item to bring up its properties page. There is a tiny fader in there for gain. |

Something else we do alike. |

I use it on everything. It beats riding the fader on the way in, for ease of use. It's always needed to even out vocal performances so the compressors don't do too much in one section and too little in another.

Ok, it isn't for clipping a signal. I do do this. I have been using Air Windows Purest Gain to effectively raise or lower gain of sections instead of riding fader.
