Send Levels and Trim Mode
You can set Pro Tools to exclude Send levels
from Trim mode, so that only the Main Volume
goes into Trim when a track is put into Trim
mode. This gives you more flexibility in setting
Send levels while in Trim mode.
To exclude Send levels from Trim mode:
1 Choose Setup > Preferences and click Mixing.
2 Under Automation, deselect Include Sends in
Trim Mode.
3 Click OK.
Composite Automation
Playlist
If automation is not set to coalesce after every
automation pass, you can display a composite
automation playlist that shows the contribution
of the Trim automation to the main Volume or
Send Level automation data. This composite
playlist display cannot be directly edited.
The composite playlist is shown in both the
main automation playlist and the Trim automa-
tion playlist.
To display the composite playlist:
Select View > Automation > Composite Playlist.
Any uncoalesced automation on a Send will
still coalesce when the other automation on
its track is coalesced, even if “Include Sends
in Trim Mode” is deselected.
