One of the most talked about new features of Pro Tools 10 was "clip
gain." You can highlight a segment, as large or small as you need, and
pop up a fader to change the volume of that clip.

I thought every DAW could do that, and I guess they can, but it may take
one or two extra steps. My Mackie HDR24/96, which is 15 years old, can
do it.


Yes, it has to be a common feature these days.

In Cubase 5, you can cut the track just before and just after
a too-loud passage, and adjust volume on only that small chunk of
the track.

It's cool that you can do this on top of manipulating the shape of
the automated fader level line.
