Thanks again. Of course I had clicked the links, but the informations, which Steinberg gives in it’s so called OM, are so few, that beginners like me are recommended to meet a Cubase professional, who can explain directly at the computer, how to work with Cubase regarding the loudness science. But I don’t know such a Cubase master. In generall I like Cubase, but I’m so disappointed respectively even shocked regarding how to handle loudness adjustments, that I’m already searching for another DAW. If I open the mixer console, of course I can choose, whether I want to affect only a single track or if I want to affect them all together, but if I want to make loudness settings, it’s a science, how to do that for all tracks at a blow.

The developer of Steinberg are invited herewith to enhance Cubase and to offer a simple way to affect all tracks at a blow regarding loudness settings. The Cubase tempo editor for example is such a good tool, it’s really great: It would have been only consequent, to create a similar tool to affect loudness settings for all tracks at a blow.

You have been given several simple solutions. I think it’s kind of sad that you seem to think that you are going to become proficient in such a deep program in a few days and because you haven’t spent the time to learn the software that you then blame the DAW. I think you will find that every DAW has a deep learning curve if you want to really become good with it.

I think the easiest would be to just automate the volume of your individual tracks and copy the volume automation curve to the other tracks. This is something that you as a beginner should know how to do-it’s a basic thing that you’ll need to do 100 times a day. If you don’t know how to do it, then don’t complain about the software, and spend a few minutes working on learning it-or ask a specific question.

EDIT: It sounds now like you are just asking about a global volume control. That is your master output. Click the “W” and wiggle the output fader. Now you can draw the automation curve for master volume.
