pro tools: how do you type in a value on a channel fader...

im a keyboard guy
i always type in every parameter for everything
compressor settings, volume, pan, where i want to locate

but i can't seem to figure out how to type in the volume value into the channel faders on pt

 

[::XeS::]

can you type in values for plugins?

 

[PostMortem1666]

I don't think you can type in a value but you can hold ctrl and move the fader in .1 db increments.

 

[joeymusicguy]

anyone know of a fader plugin that moves in 1 db increments only?

=\

 

[vespiz]

Isn't there a small round icon next to the fader that opens a dialog window? (Right above the meters?)

It's either just dbl click the volume number in the mix window, or you click on the little fader icon in the mix window and then dbl click there too.

This applies to everything including parameters...

not sure what you're all talking about.

A DAW that you can't type numbers in would be . . . :zombie:

believe it

as far as i can tell, from messing with it for about 15 minutes, there's no way to type in a value for the faders.

 

[::XeS::]

You can write value for plugins but I've never found a way to insert values for volume and fades

if there's no way to do this i'll probably use the trim plugin to control volume

kind of a pain

but i refuse to click+drag for volume changes... lol so newbie feeling

Funny stuff tbh, people saying in that other thread Reaper lacks basic stuff and then Pro Tools lack even more basic stuff.

Though I reckon Pro Tools is the king at editing, no doubt, don't wanna start an argument or anything, just saying.

Not sure why that wouldn't work Joey. I type values for the faders doing this all the time. You are clicking the little fader right?

i've tried single clicking, double clicking, shift clicking, option clicking, alt clicking, and any combination of those:
the fader in edit window
the meter in edit window
the fader in mix window
the meter in mix window
the volume fader value display in mix window

can you show me a screen shot or anything?
