Trim vs Meter Bridge

Post by crankygnomes »

On DP 7.2, why is the level of a given recorded track much different according to the Trim plugin as opposed to the Meter Bridge?

Well, if your trim plug is pre-fader and you have "Tracks" selected in Meter Bridge (which is post-fader) the difference will be the fader setting. On my system, if the fader is set to zero, a trim plug insert reads identical to the meter bridge reading.
