Source Settings Tab

The Source Settings tab allows you, among other, to apply conversion settings ShareSets to an object. When you apply conversion settings to an object, you must decide whether the conversion settings will be applied using a ShareSet or a custom instance. At any point, you can click the Edit button to edit the conversion settings.

The Source Settings tab also allows to enable loudness normalization and define the make-up gain to adjust the volume.

[Note] Note

When you apply a conversion settings ShareSet to a parent object, the settings are automatically applied to all child objects as well. You can, however, override these settings at any level in the hierarchy by selecting the Override parent option and applying a different ShareSet.

General

Interface Element

Description

Name

The name of the object.

PF

Determines whether the object is included or excluded from the current platform. When selected, the object is included in the current platform. When unselected, the object is not included.

When this option is unselected, the property and behavior options in the Property Editor become unavailable.

Notes

Any additional information about the object properties.

Controls the Mute and Solo states for the object and shows the implicit mute and solo states for the object.

Muting an object silences this object for the current monitoring session. Soloing an object silences all the other objects in the project except this one.

A bold M or S indicates that the Mute or Solo state has been explicitly set for the object. A non-bold M or S with faded color indicates that the object's Mute or Solo state was implicitly set from another object's state.

Muting an object implicitly mutes the descendant objects.

Soloing an object implicitly mutes the sibling objects and implicitly solos the descendant and ancestor objects.

[Tip] Tip

Hold the Ctrl key while clicking a solo button to exclusively solo the object for which the solo button is associated.

[Note] Note

Mute and Solo are designed to be used for monitoring purposes only and are not persisted in the project or stored in the Soundbanks.

Conversion Settings

Interface Element

Description

Override parent

Determines whether the conversion settings are inherited from the parent or defined at the current level in the hierarchy.

If the object is a top-level object, the Override parent option is not available.

Conversion Settings

(Selector)

The list of conversion setting instances that can be applied to the object. The name of the selected instance is displayed in the corresponding text box.

To remove a conversion setting instance, select the None option.

Opens the Conversion Settings Editor where you can define the conversion settings for the selected conversion settings instance.

If you use a ShareSet, any changes you make to the conversion settings will be applied to all objects using this ShareSet.

Mode

Determines whether the conversion settings instance is a unique instance or shared across several objects within your project. The mode can be either:

Define custom - To create a unique conversion settings instance whose properties will not be shared between objects.

Use ShareSet - To use a ShareSet of a conversion setting, which means that conversion settings can be shared between objects.

Displays the selected ShareSet in the ShareSets tab of the Project Explorer.

Loudness Normalization

Interface Element

Description

Override parent

Determines whether the loudness normalization settings are inherited from the parent or defined at the current level in the hierarchy.

If the object is a top-level object, the Override parent option is not available.

Enable Loudness Normalization

Determines if loudness normalization is active.

Provides normalization of the sources, by applying an automatic gain calculated from the measured loudness of the source recording.

For more information about Loudness Normalization, refer to Using Loudness Normalization or Make-up gain to Adjust Volume.

Make-up Gain

Interface Element

Description

Make-up Gain

Volume gain in decibels (dB) applied to the voice, after all other volume adjustments. The make-up gain is additive across the actor-mixer hierarchy.

Refer to Understanding the Voice Pipeline to learn about how voices are being processed, how they are being routed and where the different volumes and effects are being applied.

For more information about the Make-up Gain, refer to Using Loudness Normalization or Make-up gain to Adjust Volume.

Default value: 0
Range: -200 to 200
Units: dB

[Note] Note

The default slider range is from -96 to +12. You can go over those limits by entering the value directly, or by rolling the mouse while the focus is on the edit control.
