Adjusting volume and send levels
Adjusting track volume
You can adjust track volume using the Vol fader in the track header the same way you do in stereo projects.
The fader in the track header can function as a trim control that adjusts the overall volume of the track, or
it can adjust track volume automation settings.
The trim level is added to the volume automation settings so your envelope is preserved, but with a boost or
cut applied. For example, setting the trim control to -3 dB has the same effect as decreasing every envelope
point by 3 dB.
Deselect the Automation Settings button in the track header if you want to adjust trim levels, or select
the button if you want to adjust volume automation.
Adjusting assignable effects send or bus send levels
You can adjust send levels for busses or assignable effects chains using the multipurpose fader in the track
header the same way you do in stereo projects. Click the fader label and choose an assignable effects chain
or bus from the menu. The fader in the track header can function as a trim control that adjusts the overall
send level of the track, or it can adjust send level automation settings.
Deselect the Automation Settings button in the track header if you want to adjust trim levels, or select
the button if you want to adjust volume automation.
Adjusting channel levels
Use the Surround Master bus control in the Master Bus window to adjust the individual levels of the 5.1
channels. The faders in the Surround Master bus control can function as trim controls that adjust the
overall level of each channel, or you can automate the master volume of the Surround Master bus
(individual channel levels cannot be automated).
Deselect the Automation Settings button in the track header if you want to adjust trim levels, or select
the button if you want to adjust volume automation.
Adjusting the center channel volume
Adjusting the volume of the center channel can help emphasize dialogue or balance the mix. You can
adjust the center channel volume trim level or automation settings.
The trim level is added to surround panning keyframes so your keyframe settings are preserved, but with a
boost or cut applied. For example, setting the trim control to -3 dB has the same effect as decreasing the
center channel level by 3 dB in every keyframe.
