How do you adjust clip gain on a region independently of the track fader?

• A. Use the Clip Gain tool
• B. Use the Clip Gain line on the region
• C. Use automation on the track
• D. Use the Track's volume fader

Answer: (B)

Clip gain is a level adjustment that lives with the individual region, not the whole track. The Clip Gain line on the region lets you raise or lower the gain for that specific clip without touching the track’s fader, so you can balance one section independently of others. Dragging the line up increases the clip’s level, and dragging it down decreases it, all while the track’s volume stays intact. This is what clip gain is designed for: precise, region-level control. Using the track’s automation or the track’s volume fader would change the overall level of the entire track, not just one region, so they don’t fit the goal of isolating adjustment to a single region. The Clip Gain line provides the direct, visible way to shape that region's level on its own.
