Automatically lower Music (Avid)

There's nothing worse in an Avid than importing music, forgetting​ to adjust it's gain downward...and hitting play, only to be deafened by the music.

Unless you know this trick:​

​Import Dialog box

​The Import Dialog box has a TAB​ marked audio. Adjust the "Apply attenuation" gain during import.

All your imported audio will now be gained downwards by -20db - meaning, no more music pain!​
