Faders The first time a fader is placed in Trim, the null point is 0 dB and the fader
will snap to this position. It should be noted that the fader is showing the
null value rather than the Read Mix values and in this case it is 0 dB. As the
pass is played, the changes in the Read Mix values will be heard with a 0 dB
offset and the fader will not move. When the fader is moved from 0 dB, an
offset equivalent to the amount of the move will be applied to the Read Mix
data and the net result will be heard.
The offset is displayed by a pink bar (replay value) and a gray bar (current
value).
When a recorded Trim is played back with Trim Enabled , the fader will
move to indicate the Trim offset from 0 dB. If the value of the Trim Replay
Data is recorded at –3 dB and then moves to –5 dB, the fader will move to
–3 dB and then to –5 dB at the appropriate time. The underlying Read Mix
data will be heard with the Trim offset applied. The Trim Replay Data may be
updated using Trim Record techniques, thus allowing Trims to be modified.
It should be noted that faders in Trim do not follow the WYSIWYH (What
You See is What You Hear) paradigm. The recorded moves plus Trim offsets
will be heard, but only the Trim Replay values will be shown by the fader.
Encoders Any time an encoder is placed in Trim, the null point will be 0 dB and the
encoder will ‘auto-null’ to this value. Since there is no Trim Replay Data for
encoders, the null value can show only the offset of Read Mix values from
0 dB. The null point for encoders is always a 0 dB offset from the Read Mix
value.
Whenever an encoder is put in Trim, a 0 dB offset will be used. When a
recorded Trim is played back with Trim Enabled , the encoder will move
to indicate the Trim offset from 0 dB. As the pass is played, the changes in
the Read Mix values will be heard with a 0 dB offset and the encoder will
not move. When the encoder is moved from 0 dB, an offset equivalent to the
amount of the move will be applied to the Read Mix data and the net result
will be heard.
The pink-colored bar or dot (replay value) is used to match the current value
to the replay value.
Trim Rules Record Off:
• Trim Enable : The control is armed to go into TRIM RECORD.
Faders move to their Trim Replay values and both the Read Mix Data and
Trim Replay Data are replayed. The Read Mix values plus the Trim offset
will be heard. Any changes made to the Trim value (+/- from the nominal
Trim Replay value), will offset the Trim Replay value by that amount. The
first time Trim Enable is used, faders will display a nominal Trim value
of 0 dB. Since the default offset value is 0 dB, the Read Mix Data will be
heard unaltered if the control is not moved. While Read Mix data will be
heard, it will not be indicated by the fader’s position.
Encoders display a nominal Trim value. The nominal value will vary de-
pending on the control (i.e. 0 dB for levels/gains, center for stereo panner,
etc.). Read Mix Data (Written changes plus any previous Trims) is played
back. Any changes made to the Trim value (+/- from the nominal Trim
value), will offset the Read Mix values by that amount.
