make the scene quieter (negative dB values), mute
the scene (slider all the way to the left), or increase
the volume (positive values up to 30 dB).
You can use this control, for example, to prevent a
quiet audio segment from being drowned out by
loud audio (e.g. music on the background track).
You see a change in volume in the light-blue
bands within the audio samples. If the volume is
reduced, then the strip at the lower edge of the
audio sample is shifted. The longer the audio
sample, the more clearly you see its course.
( 10 ) The button " Correction " is used to change
the volume of an audio segment during the entire
length of the selected audio sample. The change is
shown by blue highlighting in the audio segment.
After selecting an audio sample (e.g. music) in
one of your music tracks, click on the "
Correc-
tion " button. A selection list containing all six
audio tracks is displayed. From this list select
the track (e.g. original audio track) in which the
audio sample is located for which you want to
change the volume. To the right of the list there is
a slider that you scroll to the left to make quieter,
or to the right to make louder. This causes the
sound to be changed in the selected (under "
Cor-
rection ") track for the entire length of the active
audio sample.
An example: You are using three audio tracks.
The original audio is in the first track and its
length is the length of the storyboard. There is a
music composition in the third track that begins
sometime during the original tone and also ends
at sometime while the original is still running.
Select the music. Then click on the "
Correction "
button. You now see the selection list of all audio
tracks. Select the original audio track in this list
and reduce the volume with the control next to
"
Correction
" until "
Mute
" appears. Now you do
not hear the original audio during the music. You
can hear the music without any interruption by
the original audio.
There is a commentary in the second track. The
commentary begins in the middle of the music
and doesn't end until some time after the music
is over. Select the commentary. Reduce the music
volume during the entire commentary duration
by clicking on "
Correction ", selecting the music
track, and reducing the volume with the control
to the right.
The original audio that was muted during the
music must now be kept off for the remaining
time of the commentary.
Create a new audio sample, namely "
Silence ". Set
the length with time to spare. Insert it after the
music and trim it using the "
Range " button to the
position in the video where the commentary ends.
In case you can't find the video position using
the material, then you might have to calculate the
correct position.
The volume control for the track in which the au-
dio sample is activated is disabled under "
Correc-
tion
", because volume changes to itself are with
the " Volume " slider.
( 11 ) By clicking on one of the menu symbols you
directly enter the menus Record/Edit or Main
menu .
5.12 Shutdown (OFF)
This button turns off the
Casablanca Prestige
.
Clicking it does exactly the same as pushing the
manual switch on the front of the
Casablanca
Prestige
.
The power-down procedure saves all settings, so
that after turning on the machine later you can
continue your project where you left off. The pro-
ject is saved and then the system is shut down.
You can then turn on the machine only by using
the manual switch on the front of the unit.
We warn against shutting down the machine by
pulling the power plug or cutting power to the
machine!
You should always turn off your Casablanca
Prestige with the " Off ” button or the front switch.
Data loss may otherwise occur!
