hi.
what is the best way to automate volume, but not on the track's fader so you're free to move the fader up and down if the volume isn't right after automating? i keep automating the track fader but then in the context of the mix it might be off so i have to go in and re-automate a lot of it. it's so time consuming. there must be some trick b/c no way real engineers spend this much time just on volume.
i guess what i mean, if that isn't clear, is that i want an automated volume for the track itself to tame spikes and all that, but if it turns out that it's too loud in the final mix i'd like to just be able to move the fader down on that track on the main mixer.
