- That thread shows that I was already using that workaround when I came here with this question. I wasn't asking here for any workaround, I just wanted to understand the difference between moving the slider on the left panel and the volume adding effect. The user @TECH Support gave me here an answer, which was, in fact, misleading: These words are not true. So I am still trying to understand that difference.

- But the problem is those minor adjustments will also be applied to the original track. That's what makes me question the usefulness of that feature.

Unless I misunderstand something, it doesn't seem to work for me. Here is what I do: 1) Firstly, I load an audio to a track : https://i.stack.imgur.com/sPVyP.jpg 2) Then, I select a region of the track: https://i.stack.imgur.com/O5GeW.jpg 3) Then, I open "Amplify" window and move the slider in it to the right: https://i.stack.imgur.com/rflLj.jpg 4) Then, I close this window and play back the whole track. As a result, I get the whole track amplified!

Yes, it works! Thank you. However, I still don't understand the point in having this feature that duplicates a track in this way. Is there any valid reason for that?

All right. I've uploaded them to Google Drive. 25 wav files altogether bundled into one 173 megabyte zip file. When I load them into MixPad I load them as separate tracks. Here is the download link: https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1uvBLlR5FcZ7Ce7HUX967Y7IL86kFAoKw&export=download Thank you

Yes, it works! Thank you.

Are you sure it works that way?

I am still new to MixPad, as well as to the whole business of music editing, so I am sorry if my question here comes out as silly or even, perhaps, annoying. On one hand, we can change the volume of the whole track on the panel to the left from it as shown here: https://i.stack.imgur.com/im8fB.jpg On the other hand, we can also change the volume of a clip on a track by choosing the corresponding effect (Fx -> Add Effect -> Volume -> Amplify) as shown here: https://i.stack.imgur.com/Pcz0j.jpg As I have recently learned on this thread, if you apply an effect to one clip on the track, this effect will be applied to the whole track. If so, then I don't see the difference between changing the volume via the left panel and changing it via volume effect. What's the difference between these two? Is it like the volume-effect way is finer?

I have split one track into three clips, then duplicated that track (by right-clicking on it and choosing "Duplicate Track" option), then deleted the middle clip from the first track, and the first and the third clips from the duplicate track. I did so because I wanted to apply some effects to the middle part while keeping the first and the last parts intact. However, after I had applied an effect (reverb) to the middle part of duplicate track (which by now was the only clip on that track), I discovered that same effects were also automatically applied to the clips on the original track. And later, when I cancelled the effects on the original track (by click on "Fx" and then unchoosing the applied effects), cancellation also took place automatically on the duplicate track! So, is it like if you duplicate a track by using "Duplicate Track" option on the menu, whatever effects are applied on the duplicate track, they will also be duplicated on the original one? If so, then I don't quite see the point of it. Can somebody, please, explain what is that needed for?

I am a bit bothered by the fact that the right lower indicator is always showing to me red color bars signaling that the volume levels of the loaded audio file(s) are beyond the norm (please, check out this link to see what I mean: https://i.stack.imgur.com/44wOk.jpg ). On the other hand, the sound is perfect, there are no distortions, not any kind of noise and I don't really want to decrease the volume on any of the tracks just because of this. So how should I go about it? Can I just ignore it and go ahead with my editing or am I just creating some trouble for myself that will let know of itself in the future?

I see. Thank you very much for this explanation.

Thank you. What you have suggested is the other option that I have described in my question. I am a bit surprised that there is no way of adding effects to only one particular clip on the track. Duplicating tracks for that purpose is rather cumbersome.

I have a track, the middle part of which I want to have more of reverb effect. The problem is I want to add that effect only to that one middle part of the track while keeping the rest of it unchanged. I thought I could do that by simply splitting the track into three clips, the middle part being the second clip, and adding effect to the second clip. But then I discovered that the added effect is affecting the whole track. So, I wonder if it's possible to add an effect to only one given clip on the track or the only way to go around it is to duplicate the track for editing only that middle part?

I see. Thank you!

Thank you, MakubX, for this answer. May I have a further clarification? Will it affect only the playback of the track or will it also affect the track's volume level when I export the whole mix? In short, will it affect the final mix exported as a .wav?
