Preset Toggle Buttons
The preset up/down arrow buttons enable you to scroll up or down through either the factory
or user presets. These toggle buttons are located just to the left of the Preset window.
Preset Title Window
The Preset Title window displays the currently selected preset. This window is located at
the top of the control bar. Click on it to access the pull-down menu where you can choose be-
tween factory or user presets.
Memory A/Memory B
The Mem A and Mem B buttons temporarily store Final Mix settings to allow comparative
referencing. You can also copy and paste settings from one memory location to another using
commands found on the menu.
Menu
Pressing the MENU button opens a pull-down menu that performs familiar functions:
About Final Mix: Opens a window that shows the version number and copyright information.
Undo: Undo the previous action.
Redo: Redo the previous undo.
Load Final Mix: Loads a previously saved preset le.
Save User Preset As...: Saves a Preset to the hard drive with a new le name.
Save User Preset: Saves changes to the current preset to the hard drive.
Reset Final Mix: Resets all the settings in Final Mix to the current preset values.
Cut Final Mix: Copies all the settings to the clipboard and resets them to their default values.
Copy: Copies all the settings to the clipboard, leaving the settings as they are.
Paste Final Mix: Copies the settings from the clipboard to the current Final Mix window.
Note: Cut/Copy/Past are useful for changing MEM A and B to identical settings.
L/R Input and Output Clip LEDs
The two small boxes at the top of the input and output meters are the clip LEDs. The clip
LEDs light if the signal goes above 0 dB. Avoid lighting the OUTPUT clip LEDs. When ren-
dering to disk at either 24-bit or 16-bit, any clips will be written to the le.
You can generally get rid of clipping by backing off the input or output faders slightly, or by
engaging the SOFT CLIP button (see page 18). Actually, because Final Mix uses 32-bit oat-
ing point internal processing, the signal does not clip internally within the plug-in. However,
to maintain a reasonable gain structure and avoid clipping elsewhere in the signal chain,
avoid running the signal up above 0 dB.
Link
The LINK buttons link the Left and Right input faders or the Left and Right output faders
so they can be moved simultaneously. If the faders have an offset when link is engaged, they
maintain that offset.
