suitable reference point on the scale before entering the Trim update status by pressing the fader switch.
AWSomation features SSL’s ‘auto-nulling’ feature so that each time Trim is re-enabled a new null point is set.When
writing a Trim move, the dB trim value is displayed in the scribble strip above the fader.
Both Autotakeover and Snap functions (see below) used in conjunction with a Trim update allows a seamless or
smooth return to the stored mix data.
When Join is used with faders in Trim at the Rollback point, any Trim offset will be retained and written from the
point that the Join key is operated. Revise returns any fader in Trim at the Rollback point back to write but with a
new null point to avoid a level jump.
TLock
TLock - Trim Lock - defeats the auto nulling feature of the standard Trim function and ‘locks’ the null point to the
position that the fader was in when Trim was first enabled in the current Mix Pass. This enables a defined trim
offset to be repeatedly punched in and out throughout the subsequent Mix Pass. Deselecting TLock clears any
stored nulled points. AutoTakeover can be used when TLock is active, however Snap and TLock are mutually
exclusive; selecting one deselects the other and vice versa.
An example of TLock would be bringing up
the levels of guitar licks in a track. If Trim is
used in Snap mode, the fader can be raised
and let go repeatedly, returning to the previous
level. However it is difficult to have an identical
increase in level each time when using
manually. If we use TLock, the reference
value will be set, and the fader will be moved
to the correct raised level. Every time you
press the fader status key it will jump to that
level, and when pressed again, it will return to
the reference value. There will be no glide
times and value will be identical.
Motors Off
Moff - Motors Off - this mode suspends the motorised playback of Mix data via the moving faders. In this mode
it will emulate a VCA automation system. Moff automatically activates the fader SuspdAll Links function (see
later).
