The Level Menu allows you to set an amount of attenuation for each clip. The range is from -99 dB to +99dB (zero
is the default when a clip is first recorded).
The clip fade-in and fade-out rise to and fall from this level.

Range

Many clips can be altered at the same time using a range. This is created using the FROM and TO keys, as de-
scribed in the section on Editing with a Range. When using a range, only clips that are entirely within the range are
affected.

Track Selection

Any number of tracks may be chosen by pressing their Track Keys.

Mode Selection

When CLIP is selected, the Set and Trim parameters alter the level of the currently selected clip(s). When DISPLAY is
selected, the Set and Trim parameters affect the vertical size of the waveform display. When TRACK is selected (only
possible if Stereo Mix is ON), Set, Trim and Pan affect monitoring of the selected tracks in the stereo output. These settings
cease to have any effect when Stereo Mix is switched OFF.

Edit
Sets the value of the current pa-
rameter on selected clips/tracks
(depending on the MODE set-
ting, this could be CLIP level,
DISPLAY amplitude or TRACK
monitor level). This may be a
negative or positive number.
After pressing this Soft Key, you
will see the current value below
the Set label. Type the value you
want, or use the Jogger or + and -
keys, then press ENTER to set the
parameter value. If a negative
number is to be typed, first type
<Clear><->, then the number,
then ENTER.
Note:
1.
To set the level for just part of a clip, first use the SPLIT command to break it into the right sized pieces, then
set the appropriate levels.
2.
To create a ramp between different levels in one clip, first copy the section whose level is to be changed
(using the Edit Menu), then paste it back on top of its source. Change its level as desired, then use the Fade
Menu to create fades at either end of the clip. This will cause it to crossfade with the source clip underneath,
which will be playing at the original level.
3.
It is possible, when using the Level Menu, to push the level of a clip over digital maximum. Check meters.

The Level Menu

Set
Trim
Trims the value of the cur-
rent parameter up and
down on selected clips/
tracks. Press the Soft Key,
then type a number, use
the Jogger or the + and -
keys to change the number,
then press ENTER to make
the change. All the same
parameters affected by the
Set Soft Key can be
changed using the Trim
Soft Key, but the changes
are relative to the current
settings.
Pan
MODE
CLIP
Pan is only visible when Stereo Mix is ON.
It affects the pan position of the selected
audio in the stereo mix. If MODE is set to
TRACK, the pan value affects the whole
track. If MODE is set to CLIP, only the
currently selected clips are affected. By
default, clips have Pan set to OFF, and are
controlled by the Pan value for their Track.
If a clip has a value for Pan, this overrides
the Track setting. Pan values are positive if
right of centre, and negative if left.
Info is visible when DISPLAY mode is
selected. When it is ON, each clip shows its
level (if non-zero) its bit depth, and whether
EQ is in or out.
The selected clips are split into two at this point.
If a range has been created, clips are split at both
ends.
