The panel below is an input/output section for setting and
monitoring gain going in and coming out of Trash.
Setting Gain:
You can adjust the input or output gain by sliding the faders with the mouse, either by clicking and dragging or clicking and using the wheel of a wheel mouse. As you change the faders, a display box will indicate the amount of gain being applied to the incoming (or outgoing) signal.
You can also use hotkeys to adjust the level in small
increments. Learn more about the hotkeys here...
Adjusting Left and Right Channels Independently
By default, the left and right gains are linked so moving one moves the other. You can adjust left and right gain independently by clicking on the "lock" icon. You can offset the two channels and then "relock" them, so that later adjustments move both channels by the same amount.
Faders will remember their offset even if they are
temporarily turned up or down all the way, so that when you bring the faders
back to the middle, the offset will be preserved.
Double-click
Resets
If the left and right faders are locked, double-clicking on either fader will reset both of them to 0 dB.
If the left and right faders are unlocked and set at different levels, double-clicking a specific fader will reset it to 0 dB.
If the left and right faders are locked but
had been previously been set to different levels, double-clicking on a fader will
reset it to match the level of the other fader. Another double-click will reset both
faders to 0 dB.
More Information
Right-clicking (under OS X you can also ctrl-click) on the level meters provides an options screen for the level meters. You can learn about the level meters here...
