4 - Operation : Trimming Mix Moves Trimming Mix Moves There may be times when a control has existing mix moves that are good, but the overall level of those moves needs to be raised or lowered. In this case, Trim is used to offset existing moves. Action: Press the TRIM key before or after starting timecode and its indicator lights. With timecode running, perform the desired Trim operation. Result: With the console in Trim mode, any move- ment of a control while timecode is running performs a Trim operation on that control. The audio passing through the control reflects the previous mix moves, combined with the offset created by the Trim operation. In the case of the touch-sensitive faders, trimming begins when a fader is touched. In the case of POD controls, trimming begins when the control is moved. In write mode, existing events are not replayed, but in trim mode, they are played back and merged. Trim all If TRIM ALL is enabled in the AUTO SETUP screen, a control can be trimmed while timecode is running to adjust the level of that control for the whole of the automation. Note that if TRIM ALL is enabled while timecode is running, no events will be recorded. Stop the timecode to complete the pass. See also the section in the overview ((page 312)"TRIM ALL" NOTE This Trim All function cannot be combined with other global automation modes in the same pass. Revert Time: When a control stops trimming mix moves it "reverts" to reading any mix data that existed before trimming began. The previously existing data could be a dynamic mix move or a static control position. The amount of time it takes to move smoothly from the end of the trimmed mix move to the previously existing data is called the Revert Time. A Revert Time is applied, even when the timecode is stopped, past the point when the timecode stops, to ensure a smooth transition between the trimmed mix move and the control's previous setting.
