Generating a Signal Clip (Reference Level Tones)
Avid Liquid has an internal audio signal generator that allows you to generate individual signal tones:
1 Open the shortcut menu in any Rack and select the Create > Signal Clip option. A clip with the
audio (loudspeaker) icon is stored in the Rack.
2 From the shortcut menu of the signal clip generated, open the clip Properties. You can now set the
following on the Signal tab:
3 Wavefor m -
Select either Sine, Sawtooth, Rectangle, Triangle or Silence as the type. Level tones are typically
sinusoidal.
4 Frequency -
Set the slider to the desired value (from 100 Hertz to 10 kHz).
5 Vo lum e -
Select 0, -9, -12, -18 or -27 dB.
6 On the General tab, name the clip so that it will be easier to identify in the Project later on.
The preset reference tones contained in earlier versions of Avid Liquid are replaced by this new, more
flexible function.
No media data exists for a signal clip. The internal signal generator generates the signal. For the same rea-
son there is no waveform display of a signal clip.
Creating Titles
You can create still, roll and crawl titles with the titler integrated in Avid Liquid. When you close the titler,
the objects produced are automatically exported to the Rack that was last activated.
For more information on the titler, see the separate chapter (see page 881).
Producing Customized Effects
Effects are also among the objects that you can create in Avid Liquid. Using the Effect Editors (e.g. 2D
Editor or Keying Editor), you can define customized effects that can be stored as objects in the Rack.
Also see “Effect Editors (Basics)” on page 510.
