Path Settings
Choosing Path Settings opens the Path Settings window for that track. This window contains
controls for adjusting the input level of audio signals being input via a BMD input/output device.
The Path Settings window showing audio inputs and track inputs
These parameters control the following:
Mic/Instr.: Adjusts the Mic/Instrument level for this source, from 0 to 100 dB.
On: Enables Microphone/Instrument level for this source.
48V: Enables phantom power for that input.
Record Level: Controls the level going to the disk before recording. It does not affect
the track when in Thru mode.
Rec: Enabling this button makes this track ready to record. Only turn this on if there
is an audio source patched to the current track.
Thru: When on, this makes the affected track into the equivalent to a live feed. When
enabled, this track will monitor its input, but will not respond to a record command.
Only turn this on if there is an audio source patched to the current track.
Trim: This parameter controls the level as the channel enters the mixer. For timeline
tracks, this controls the signal coming from disk, and does not affect any current levels
being recorded.
Direct Output: Controls the level going from this channel to the direct output.
On: Toggles direct output on and off.
Pre: Toggles the direct output to connect either pre or post the main channel fader.
Insert: Controls the insert return only. When enabled, the channel connects to its insert
return, otherwise the Channel connects to the straight-through path. The insert send,
on the other hand, is always active (though it must be patched somewhere before it can
be heard).
NOTE: Insert sends and returns are only audible if patched to physical outputs or
inputs, or to other paths. Sends can be sent to the input of any path in the system, and
returns can come from the output or send of any path. This is done in the Patch I/O
screen (press the Patch I/O button).
