MIDI track parameters
The following pictures illustrate MIDI track parameters:
Trim (volume trim) Volume Trim is a pre-fader control which allows the fine tuning of a single
track’s volume.
For example, let’s say you have four tracks, three tracks have their volume
fader set to 0 dB while the fourth track’s fader is set to +10 dB. You want to
group the faders and do a slow fade out, but the slightly higher level of the
fourth track causes its volume to be higher in relation to the other tracks
towards the end of the fade out. To balance the fader levels, reduce the fader
level for the fourth track to 0 dB and raise the Volume Trim value for that track to
+10 dB. The resulting volume levels for the project are the same, but now you
can group the faders and perform a fade out with no track standing out
disproportionately at the end of the fade out.
Input The input source for the track, used in recording
Output The output bus through which the track is played
Send Enable Activates a send module, which sends a copy of the track signal to a bus.
Send Level Controls volume of audio data sent by this send module.
Send Pan Adjusts the send pan setting.
Send Pre/Post switch Pre (pre-fader) means that the Send signal goes to the bus prior to the track’s
volume fader; post means the Send signal goes to the bus after the volume
fader.
Send destination Displays name of bus that the Send is sending data to.
Mono/Stereo A switch that determines whether a track’s signal enters an effect or chain of
effects as mono or stereo, regardless of the nature of the track.
Phase In/Out A switch that inverts the phase of the track.
Effects bin The patch point for a track’s plug-ins or soft synths.
Meters The recording and playback levels are displayed in the Playback and Record
meters.
