4 – Operation : Trimming Mix MovesTASCAM DM Automation Guide 27Trimming Mix MovesThere may be times when a control has existing mixmoves that are good, but the overall level of thosemoves needs to be raised or lowered. In this case,Trim is used to offset existing moves.Action: Press the TRIM key before or after startingtimecode and its indicator lights. With timecode run-ning, perform the desired Trim operation.Result: With the console in Trim mode, any move-ment of a control while timecode is running performsa Trim operation on that control. The audio passingthrough the control reflects the previous mix moves,combined with the offset created by the Trim opera-tion.In the case of the touch-sensitive faders, trimmingbegins when a fader is touched.In the case of POD controls, trimming begins whenthe control is moved.In write mode, existing events are not replayed, butin trim mode, they are played back and merged.Trim allIf TRIM ALL is enabled in the AUTO SETUP screen, a con-trol can be trimmed while timecode is running toadjust the level of that control for the whole of theautomation.Note that if TRIM ALL is enabled while timecode is run-ning, no events will be recorded.Stop the timecode to complete the pass.See also the section in the overview (“TRIM ALL”on page 12).NOTEThis Trim All function cannot be combined with otherglobal automation modes in the same pass.Revert Time:When a control stops trimming mix moves it“reverts” to reading any mix data that existed beforetrimming began. The previously existing data couldbe a dynamic mix move or a static control position.The amount of time it takes to move smoothly fromthe end of the trimmed mix move to the previouslyexisting data is called the Revert Time.A Revert Time is applied, even when the timecode isstopped, past the point when the timecode stops, toensure a smooth transition between the trimmed mixmove and the control’s previous setting.
