 Let me start by saying that I'm new to this. There may be something that I have missed. But, when I tried to decrease the volume on my acoustic track, it decreases the volume of the entire mix. I went into the track table and selected only the acoustic track. I made sure that the master was not selected. What am I doing wrong?

First of all, it really depends on how you have things routed. Generally
though, don't do this from the track list table. You need to actually
interact with the track itself, then find the volume slider. It'll
usually be one VO+right arrow past the mute button.

Again, this might not work though depending on how you have things
routed. Also, if you are trying to do this with a physical hardware
fader on a control surface, then you're correct in thinking you may need
to have the track first selected. There's enough variables here that
it's kind of hard to fully say. I'm probably overcomplicating this, but,
yeah...

At this time, the output of the track is 1/2.  I use a  Scarlet  2 I 4.   The track has no sends associated with it. It's just the output 1/2. Any other suggestions?

In this case, the output wouldn't matter. Nor would your sends. You just
need to interact with the track. Not in the track list table. I'm
talking about the track strip itself in the mix window. Then find your
output volume slider right to the right of the mute button within the
track strip. Don't do this on the master fader, if you have one. Do it
specifically in the track strip for the track you want to turn up or down.

 I understand what you are explaining. That is what I did last night. It is strange, but it is also turning up every track. I mention the tracklist table because I selected the track in the table, then interacted with the track, then turn the volume down, and it turned everything down. I don't know what's going on?

 I guess I will try it on another session to see if I have pressed something I should not have. Then I will see if that is the problem.

Check the group list, and make sure there aren’t any active groups. There’s a default group which includes all tracks, which may be enabled. I don’t usually do a lot with groups since I do aux buses for grouping functions, so I may be mistaken, but it’s worth checking out.

Hi Jim,
Sounds like you have a group selected.
Look in the mix window and your  groups list and make sure no groups are selected.
The behavior your describing for that track is what happens when   a group is enabled, selected.
What ever you do to 1 member of the selected group effects the other members as well!

 I will bet that is the problem. I was playing around with groups to see how they work. I'll bet I did not delete them all. Thanks so much I will try this.
