Figure 12.32: Session Transport: Preroll, Postroll and Ring Buffer
• Use the
Preroll
selection button as shown above to open the preroll menu. Record preroll can be
set as short as 1/4 second up to 60 seconds. The preroll ring buffer is inherent to the record engine
and operates whenever a channel is record-enabled. Setting Preroll to “Off” will naturally result in
no preroll at the head of the recorded audio files.
•
Postroll
duration sets the amount of time a recording will continue after a “de-trigger” command
is received by the record engine. Like Preroll, Postroll can be set to durations from 1/4 second to
60 seconds, or turned off entirely.
“De-trigger” commands occur in Level-based record mode when the incoming audio level drops
below de-trigger level threshold. Timecode record mode de-triggers when incoming timecode stops
or otherwise becomes unlocked.
Postroll is a just a timer, whose function is to delay the end of the Take beyond the de-trigger com-
mand. Postroll can ensure that you capture slow fades and long ringouts, or to continue recording
a Take over a quiet passage in the music or between songs.
Use the Transport ‘Stop’ button to disarm Record Standby, and to override a Postroll and
immediately end the current Take.
