Tracktion 4 Reference Manual

• Because the master effects on your other outputs are using their own copies of the master lters,
the amount of CPU power used by the master lter section will be proportional to the number of
output devices you are using. If the combined total of lters in your master lter section are using
10% of your processing power, utilising another audio output will double that to 20%, and so on.
Note that this is only true when an audio output is being used by one or more tracks in the edit.
Tracktion will only create copies of the master lters for outputs that are in use, so simply having
an output enabled does not incur a cost.
If you only want the master effects to be applied to the default output, then you can instead use a
sub-mix to create a master lter track, and leave the master lter section empty. Creating sub-mixes is
described in Chapter 7.2.
When you click inside the master lter section, you will see a set of options in the properties panel (Fig.
3.6.2).
Volume: Use this eld to view or edit the current master volume fader level.
Pan: Use this eld to view or edit the current master pan position.
Apply to midi velocities: When this option is enabled, the volume control can be used to scale MIDI
velocities.
Find normalised level: This option allows you to have Tracktion select the optimum master level for
the edit. A pop-up menu will be displayed with the following options:
•
Based on the max level of the whole edit: Choose this option to have Tracktion nd the peak
level of the edit and set the volume accordingly.
•
Based on the RMS level of the whole edit: Choose this option to have Tracktion nd the RMS
level of the edit and set the volume accordingly.
•
Based on the max level of the marked region: Choose this option to have Tracktion nd the
peak level within the marked region and set the volume accordingly.
•
Based on the RMS level of the marked region: Choose this option to have Tracktion nd the
RMS level within the marked region and set the volume accordingly.
Reset volume to 0dB: Use this button to quickly reset the volume to the default level.
Centre panning: Use this button to quickly reset the pan control to centred.
Fade in/out: View or edit the fade envelope breakpoints for the edit. These breakpoints dene the
length of the fades from the start and end of the edit. For example, entering the value two in the rst
column of both fade elds would cause the edit to fade in over two bars, and begin to fade out two bars
from the end of the edit. If fade in / out values have been given, the time-line bar will show fade curves
to help you visualise the fades you have set-up. Figure 3.6.3 shows the fade curves at either side of the
time-line.
