Adjusting Audio Gain on Clip Output

Audio gain adjustment is a part of the clip output process only. The clips you are outputting are unaffected by audio gain adjustments made using the Output Clip menu.

On output, you can adjust the audio gain, for example, to restore the levels you had monitored on capture.

Toggle Audio Tracks buttonToggle between audio tracks 1-4 and 5-8.

Audio Signal fieldDisplays which audio signal is being monitored on output. This is set in the Audiodesk.

Channel Selection buttons and indicatorsControl and display which audio channels are input or output. The black boxes with the green LEDs indicate video tracks and audio channels that are part of the master clip that you want to output. The red buttons indicate the tracks and channels enabled to be output.

Audio Level fieldsUsed to change the audio gain, in decibels. Increase or decrease the gain by dragging left or right on the fields. By default, audio gain is 0 db.

Fader Lock buttonsWhen enabled, locks the faders for the corresponding pair of audio channels together.

To adjust the audio gain on clip output:

1. Using the Output Faders box, switch between the Monitor Faders and Master Faders. When previewing or processing a clip, the Master Outputs faders are automatically selected.
2. Enable the Fader Lock buttons (so that they are light grey) if you want to apply the identical value to pairs of audio channels.
3. Slide the faders to adjust the audio gain before you start processing. Use the Monitor faders to adjust audio gain for the tracks you are monitoring from the VTR. Use the Master Faders option to adjust the audio gain for the channels of the clip you are outputting.
   NoteOnly changes applied with Master Faders affect the audio gain levels of the clip that is output.
4. In the Clip Output menu, enable Output All Audio.
5. Select or deselect channels for output by clicking the Channel Selection button for each channel as needed.
   NoteIn a multiple clip selection, channel selection is independent for each clip but the gain levels set with the faders are the same for all clips.
6. Process the clip.

   Selected channels are output. If you used the Master Faders option, the changes to audio gain are reflected in the output clip.
