Using the Trim Tools
The Trim tools let you adjust all selected break-
points up or down by dragging anywhere within
that selection. Unlike track-based Volume automa-
tion, which scales when trimming, clip gain pro-
vides true trimming (where clip gain settings main-
tain their fixed relations to one another when
trimming).

1 Ensure that the Clip Gain Line option is enabled.
2 Make an Edit selection that includes the clip
gain settings that you want to adjust.
3 Select the Trim tool.
4 Drag up or down over the Clip Gain Line within
the Edit selection.

tings up or down by the

nudge amount.
