Off-Line Trim - Solid State Logic SL 9000 J Series Operator's Manual

The Mix System
Cycle Fill – This and the following mode are designed for use around the times set in
the cycle 'from' and 'to' timecode boxes located on the right of the MIX-DESK display.
Cycle Fill is cycle-specific 'static' mode. When you rollback (within the cycle window),
the position of any switch or fader, which has been put into write, will be written for
the length of the cycle window.
Cycle End – This is (not surprisingly) a cycle-specific mode. While you are
dynamically writing data, the moves will be written to the mix. If you roll back before
the cycle end, the last position you left the fader or object in will be written to the cycle
end time.

Off-Line Trim

This useful facility enables fader levels to be trimmed, up or down, off-line. Select
Offline Trim from the MIX-DESK menu and the pop-up shown opposite will appear.
Stab on Large Faders, Small Faders, Hard Groups or Soft Groups to select the types
of faders you wish to trim. Obviously you can select more than one fader type, if
required. The relevant boxes turn blue once a selection is made. Use the channel
selector to select individual faders. Enter in the trim start and end times (the times
default to the current mix start and end times). Now enter the required trim value in
dB, between -10 to +10 dB to two decimal places. To enter a negative trim, either press
-, enter the value and then hit =, or enter the value and stab on the Ng box. Finally stab
on Do Trim.
Subject to the setting of Always/New Pass – Play/New Pass in the Fader Status pop-
up (see Page 5-51), the Off-line Trim function will (Always/New Pass) create a new
mix pass prefixed with the letter O. If this option is set to Play/New Pass, the system
simply merges the chosen data into your current mix. If you want to keep your current
mix version, it should be saved to disk before using the Off-line Trim function.
Please note – Offline Trim adjusts the level of the trim data. If you subsequently want
to trim the adjusted data, you must use Merge Trim (see Page 5-51) or the off-line trim
information will be lost!
