Chapter 94: Trim
The Trim plug-in is available in TDM and RTAS
formats and can be used to attenuate an audio
signal from – (Infinity) dB to +6 dB or –
(Infinity) dB to +12 dB. For example, using a
multi-mono Trim plug-in on a multi-channel
track provides simple, DSP-efficient muting
control over the individual channels of the
track.
This capability is useful, since Track Mute but-
tons mute all channels of a multi-channel track
and do not allow muting of individual channels
within the track.
Trim Controls
The Trim plug-in provides the following con-
trols:
Phase Invert Inverts the phase (polarity) of the
input signal to change the frequency response
characteristics between multi-miked sources or
to correct for miswired microphone cables.
Gain Provides – dB to +6 dB or +12 dB of gain
adjustment, depending whether the Gain toggle
is set to +6 or +12.
+6/+12 Gain Toggle Switches the maximum level
of attenuation between – dB to +6 dB and
– dB to +12 dB.
Output Meter Indicates the output level, includ-
ing any gain compensation added using the Gain
control.
Mute Mutes the signal output.
Trim plug-in
Alt-click (Windows) or Option-click (Mac)
the Trim selector to open a Plug-In window
for each channel of a multi-channel track.
Automation data adjusts to reflect the cur-
rent Gain setting. When working with auto-
mation data from an older version of the
Trim plug-in, ensure the Gain setting is set
at +6 dB.
