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
time code and its indicator lights. With time code
running, perform the desired Trim operation.
Result:
With the console in Trim mode, any move-
ment of a control while time code is running per-
forms 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.
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 time code is
stopped, past the point when the time code stops, to
ensure a smooth transition between the trimmed mix
move and the control’s previous setting.
