Re: trim plug ?
You can reduce or add volume with the trim plug in. And you can invert the phase.
In the chain, it could be placed in front of a plug in, that doesn't have an input control. Or generally on a track that is too quiet. Before Pro Tools added the trim automation, this was a great plug in to keep volume automation but have control of the overall track volume. Hope it helps, Timothy |

Re: trim plug ?
It can be used for other things to...for example, I use a lot outboard compressors; to deal with the now quick, "no time for recalls" mixing world we live in, I set all of my outboard's inputs and outputs to unity gain; I then place a Trim plug before and after the analog insert, so now I only need to make note of ratio, attack, and release.
Also, if you're a user of the Waves SSL series or V series, you can do things like overdrive the G Channel, or V Compressor, and then follow it by a Trim to back the gain down before you enter back into the track. I did not realize that Waves actually modeled how the SSL and Neve limits when overdriven (a favorite technique by some mixers) until watching a video that a Waves rep did. So you can drive these plugs until the red clip lights on the plugin, and then some, without there being a digital clip...you will however be at 0dBFS which will turn your channel clip light on so following the plug by a Trim will take care of this. |
