Auto Trim

How Auto Trim works depends on whether you start recording manually or automatically by specifying an audio threshold, for example.

Manual Recording

If you set Auto Trim to Off, manually start recording, and play a note on your instrument, the recording contains silence before and after the recorded audio. This means that you must adjust the sample start and end markers manually.

If you activate Auto Trim, the sample start and end markers are automatically set to positions directly before the start and after the end of the audio.

Recording With an Audio Threshold and Pre/Post Record

Set Auto Trim to Off, specify an audio threshold for both the start and the stop trigger for the recording, and activate and set up Pre/Post Record. Now, click the Record/Record Enable button to enable recording and play a note on your instrument.

As soon as the signal exceeds the Start threshold, recording starts and when the audio level falls below the Stop threshold, it ends.

The resulting recording contains silence before and after the audio recording. This means that you must adjust the sample start and end markers manually.

If you activate Auto Trim and repeat the same procedure, the sample start and end markers are automatically moved into the pre and post record range to match the effective start and end of the audio when the recording is finished.

Auto Trim only affects the sample start and end markers and leaves the audio file as it is, including the pre and post record time.
