WORKING WITH TRACKS CHP. 6
Using the track list
Each track in your project has its own controls, faders, and sliders that are contained in the track list on the
left side of the track. You can work with these controls to affect the events on the track.
The controls in the track list can function as trim controls or automation controls for track volume, panning,
assignable effects send, and bus send levels. Adjusting the trim control affects the level of the entire track.
When a track does not use envelopes (or when the track automation mode is set to Off), the trim level is
added to the track fader. For example, setting the track volume fader to +3 dB and the trim control to -3 dB
produces a gain of 0 dB.
When a track uses envelopes, the trim level is added to the envelope so your envelope is preserved, but with
a boost or cut applied. For example, setting the trim control to -3 dB has the same effect as decreasing every
envelope point by 3 dB.
To adjust trim levels, click the Automation Settings button and verify Show Automation Controls is not
selected. When
Show Automation Controls is selected, the volume fader and multipurpose slider adjust
automation settings.
Note:
The Automation Settings button is not available in
Vegas Movie Studio and Vegas Movie Studio Platinum
software. In these versions of the software, the Volume and
Pan controls in the track header always function as trim
controls for track volume or panning envelopes.
Using the volume fader (audio only)
The fader in the track header can function as a trim control that adjusts the overall volume of the track, or it
can adjust track volume automation settings. For more information, see Volume or pan automation (audio only)
on page 156.
The trim level is added to the volume automation settings so your envelope is preserved, but with a boost or
cut applied. For example, setting the trim control to -3 dB has the same effect as decreasing every envelope
point by 3 dB.
