Chapter 10: Channel Strip 53
Output Volume Control
The Output Volume control sets the output vol-
ume after processing, letting you make up gain
or prevent clipping on the channel where the
Channel Strip plug-in is being used. The Output
Volume control can be set to apply at the end of
the FX Chain (Post) or before the FX Chain
(PRE), see “FX Chain” on page 53.
To adjust the Output Volume, do one of the
following:
 Click in the Output Volume field to type the
desired value (–INF dB to +12 dB).
– or –
 Click Vol and drag up or down to adjust the
Output Volume setting.
Output Meters
The Output meters show peak signal levels after
processing:
Dark Blue Indicates nominal levels from –INF to
–12 dB.
Light Blue Indicates pre-clipping levels, from
–12dB to 0dB.
White Indicates full scale levels from 0 dB to
+6 dB (which can result in distortion and clip-
ping).
FX Chain
Channel Strip lets you determine the signal path
through the available Equalizer (EQ), Filter
(FILT), Dynamics (DYN), and Volume (VOL)
processing modules. This way you can deter-
mine the best signal path for the type of process-
ing you want.

the Process Order options.

to select it. The available options include:
• EQ > FILT > DYN

• FILT > DYN > EQ
3 Select PRE or POST to place the Output Vol-
ume control at the beginning or at the end of the
effects signal chain.
