Editing
360 Systems
It is usually better to use A
DJUST
L
EVEL
for gain editing, however in cases where there are
no existing gain edits and no fading in or out of the edit is necessary, it can be faster and easier.
A common use is to allow an entire file to be adjusted in only one channel, for example to
adjust the relative level of a caller on the Left track and a DJ on the right.
0 db
+5 db
Set Gain Value: +05.0 DB
0 db
- 5 db
Set Gain Value: -05.0 DB
Performing a Set Gain with a Gain Value of 0db is equivalent to undoing all gain edits
within the selected range.
When using Set Gain it is unnecessary to use U
NDO
to restore the previous value before
trying another Gain value; just repeat the edit with the new value and the specified Gain will be
placed on the selected range. You can also do this with Adjust Level, but the effect is additive,
so if you Adjust Level with an Adjust By value of -1db, then perform the same edit again with
the value -2db, the resulting Gain value in the range will be -3 db. Repeatedly performing
Adjust Level in small amounts can allow you to fine tune the gain of the selected range without
re-entering a Gain value.
