Figure 46: The Channel Strip in the Information Bar
The controls function in the same manner as in the Channel
Strip window, with the exception that the Inserts and Sends
sections display only one insert or send at a time. To change
which insert or send is being displayed, click the up/down
arrows in each section. A label is shown to the left of the
insert or send to indicate which is shown.

Small menus
The Channel Strip has a mini-menu option to “Use Small
Menus in Info Bar”. By default, this item is unchecked and
the menus shown in the Channel Strip’s Info Bar section are
displayed at their full width.

Configuring the Channel Strip
When configuring the Channel Strip for the Info Bar
(Channel Strip mini-menu > Configure Info Bar), not all of
the Channel Strip’s controls are shown. This is for two
reasons:
1 The EQ and Dynamics sections are not available in the
Information Bar.
2 The following controls are added to the Information Bar
by way of the Track Inspector:
■ Solo/Mute/Record/Input
■ Automation play/record-enable
■ Input/Output
■ Track name
☛ For more information, see “Track Inspector” on
page 311 in the Digital Performer User Guide.
TWO LINE INFORMATION BAR
The “Use two lines…” option in the Information Bar
preferences splits the Information Bar elements into two lines
when more than three sections are showing to give each
section more room to display its contents.
RANGE AUTOMATION MODES
Four new automation modes have been added: Range Latch,
Range Touch, Range Trim Latch, and Range Trim Touch.
The new modes behave similarly to the regular Latch, Touch,
Trim Latch, and Trim Touch automation modes, but when
recording automation using the Range modes, moving
controls will change automation data only within a defined
time range. The settings for the data on either side of the
affected time range will be preserved.
Determining a time range
To specify a time range for the range automation modes, use
one of the following methods, which are listed in order of
their priority:
1 an object or time range selection in the track
2 a time range selection in another track
3 the Memory-Cycle range
Range Latch and Range Touch
With the Range Latch and Range Touch modes, the value of
the automation data within the defined time range will
become constant according to the setting of the control.
Therefore, these modes are useful for adjusting automation
data that is already flat, or for leveling a data curve that you
wish to flatten.
Range Trim Latch and Range Trim Touch
With the Range Trim latch and Range Trim Touch modes,
the current shape of the automation data curve within the
time range (if any) is preserved, and the entire curve is moved
up or down. Therefore, these two trim modes are ideal when
there is already a shape to the automation data within the
time range, and you wish to preserve that shape and simply
raise it or lower it altogether.
