AUTOMATION
The window shows the fader(s) selected for trimming. In the event of a mistake (or if you change your mind) you can
reset all the channels using RESET ALL (F3/4) or you can use the CURSOR UP/DOWN keys to select a particular
fader and reset just that one using RESET SELECTED (F2/3).
Pressing TRIM will add or subtract the value shown in the TRIM column - in the example shown on the previous
page, 3dB will be added overall to the automation data on Input Channel 12.
You can also be more selective about the region you want to trim. It might be that because of changes made to the
mix, an entire channel needs to boosted/reduced using TRIM. In this case, use Q1 to select ALL this will affect the
selected channel(s) for the duration of the project.
However, it could be that only a small section of the project needs to be trimmed. In this case, identify the region you
wish to trim and set IN/OUT points for that region and use Q1 to select IN<>OUT - only automation data within that
region will be affected.
The TRIM operation does not have to be a 'static' automation edit process performed in isolation - the function is
available during playback allowing you to 'ride' fader levels whilst listening to the mix to add or subtract the
required amount of level to the selected channel(s). When you are happy with the adjusted level(s), press TRIM to
commit the adjustment. Please note, however, that TRIM fader movements are not recorded - just the new fader
value when TRIM is pressed.
NOTE : The TRIM functions only apply to fader movements - it is not possible to trim pan and/or FX/Aux
automation data.
