Destructive and Non-Destructive
When an incoming audio signal is digitized or saved without any signal-related changes, the procedure is
non-destructive”. Modifications such as level changes are recorded separately as parameters and are not
used until playback. (See “Playback Level” on page 140.) The advantage is that the Media File remains
unchanged.
In the destructive procedure, the signal is already modified before being saved to the storage medium.
The only way to the original is via the original itself.
Avid Liquid always gives you the option of adjusting all signals in non-destructive mode using the Play-
back Level function. Depending on the product hardware and the signal type, however, the audio input
can also be adjusted destructively.
