chamlin Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 (edited) I'm tracking. After recording a vocal, I disengage the "record" function and playback the track. Have it set (as in the image) to show levels pre-fader. But when I move the fader it affects the level, thus impacting my view of how how the raw track actually is. What am I not understanding here?

CJ Jacobson Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Pre fader is pre effect and post fader is post effect. Same for send, pre and post sends. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William W. Saunders, Jr. Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 When you say: "But when I move the fader it affects the level," do you mean the level of the sound or the level shown on the meter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chamlin Posted February 23, 2019 Author Share Posted February 23, 2019 The level shown in the meter (well, and the sound too, but the issue is I thought it shouldn't impact the meter level.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 The level when recording is not controlled by the faders. In fact changing the fader on a track while recording will result in false readings. Keep those meters as is and adjust level at the source.

chamlin Posted February 23, 2019 Author Share Posted February 23, 2019 Thanks, guys. To clarify, after recording, when playing back, with the meter option set to pre-fader, should changing the fader cause a change in meter levels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Pre fader will affect the meter on the Track Inspector. The meter on the Track Header will not be affected. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
