System 5 Digital Audio Mixing System Operation Manual
The following analysis of the example Pass Tree in Figure 14-14 explains most of the
Tree's features:
• Pass 1 contains additional automation but is based on automation created in
Pass 0. Pass 1 may have new automation, modify Pass 0's automation, or both.
• Pass 2 is derived from Pass 1 in a similar manner as Pass 1 from Pass 0.
• Pass 3 is derived from Pass 2.
• Pass 4 is derived from Pass 2, not from Pass 3. Pass 3 may have been an exper-
iment the user wished to save but not continue using.
• Pass 5 is derived from Pass 4.
• Pass 6 is derived from Pass 5.
• Pass 7 is derived from Pass 6.
• Pass 8 is derived from Pass 5, not from Pass 7. Passes 6 and 7, like Pass 3, have
been saved but not used to continue in the Tree.
Prune Tree
Pruning the mix tree deletes all passes that are not in the direct line from the first to the
last pass. In Figure 14-14, passes 3, 6, and 7 would be deleted but the existing numbers
are retained. This frees up space and simplifies complicated trees. Prune the tree only
when you are sure you will not need the information in those passes.
1. Press the Prune Tree key in Automation Panel Page 2.
2. Confirm at the bottom of the panel to prune the pass tree.
Merge Trim
Merge Trim adds the Trim data to the Absolute automation. This operation does not
change the audio but does set the Trim automation to zero. When a Trim move yields a
satisfactory modification, it is simpler to use Merge Trim to keep all the automation in
the Absolute domain. Merge Trim also permits the full 15 dB range for further trim
operations, if necessary.
Clear Automation
Clear Automation deletes all automation passes leaving only an empty pass 0.
NOTE: Since this erases all automation, be careful before executing this command!
1. Press the Clear Automation key in Automation Panel Page 2.
2. Confirm at the bottom of the panel to clear automation.
