The right inspector channel strip will often show the Stereo Output channel with its corresponding fader.
For more mixing tips, look into some ofthe best practices to improve your production skills.
These faders represent the go-to method to quickly and precisely alter the level of all your audio elements.
Remember to monitor the levels of your tracks to avoid clipping.

Region Inspector
The Region Inspector can be used in Logic Pro to change the gain of audio regions.
Then, input your desired positive/negative dB value.
The level of MIDI regions cannot be altered in the same way via the Region Inspector.
One workaround is to convert your MIDI regions into audio regions via bouncing (Ctrl + B).
Another method is to go into the Piano Roll editor and change the velocity of your MIDI notes.
MIDI Velocity Values
Software instruments determine how loud or soft they play a MIDI note via its velocity value.
This often determines the articulation of a MIDI note.

Learnhow to use automationto make the most of this essential tool.
Track automation is enabled by default which allows you to automate changes to the entire track.
Region automation can be beneficial as it restricts this lock-on effect to specific regions and not the entire track.
Then drag up or down to apply a universal volume change to all automated levels and tweaks.
Automate the gain of your gain plugin instead of your track’s volume.
This will allow you to continue to edit with your volume faders freely throughout your mixing process.
Generally, EQs and compressors are plugins you will want to use this feature on.
If your compressor applies 3 dB of gain reduction, push up the make-up gain/output control by 3 dB.
For more information on these plugins, look intohow to use EQsandhow to use compression plugins.
Doing so can impact the overall sonic quality of your work.
Conversely, you may need to drop the volume rapidly to avoid clipping and screeching feedback issues.
