Adjusting Gain for an Input Strip
 
 
 

Use the gain faders in the AudioDesk to control the gain for an input strip. You can adjust the faders while playback is stopped, or during playback, to get a dynamic update of audio levels. Use the Gain Fader Lock buttons to specify if the faders move individually or in pairs. You can set the input strip gain to any value from -¥ dB to +24.0 dB. If you define a gain level for individual segments in the audio tracks, those levels are combined with the levels defined by the input strip gain level.

To adjust input strip gain:

  1. Ensure that each audio track that you want to work with is assigned to an AudioDesk input strip. See Assigning an Audio Track to an AudioDesk Input Strip.
  2. Play the clip. The current audio levels appear in the meters.
  3. Do one of the following:
    • To adjust the input strip faders individually, disable the Gain Fader Lock buttons.
    • To adjust faders as a pair, enable the Gain Fader Lock button below the pair of faders.
  4. Click the fader for the input strip you want to adjust and drag it to the new level.

    The current gain level appears in the Input Strip Gain display below the selected channel. You can also adjust the levels with the playback stopped.
