Lesson 9 Mixing Sound in Fairlight: Exploring theInterface
3 Right-click the A1 SYNC track header, and choose Change Track Type To > Mono.
After you convert the track type, three key indicators let you know the track was
changed. The label to the right of the track name now reads 1.0 to indicate a mono
track. The meter to the right of the track header shows a single volume meter instead
of two meters. Lastly, the clips on the track show only one channel.
The clips themselves are not modified, however. If you edit or copy one of these clips onto
a stereo track, both channels will reappear. Because a mono track can contain only one
channel of audio, the left channel (the upper channel as seen in the timeline) is used by
default when stereo clips are edited onto mono tracks. Since both channels on these clips
were identical, converting the track was the quickest way to make all theclips mono.
Trimming Clips in Fairlight
The next step when cleaning up a spoken word track usually is to refine them using a
trimming method similar to one you used in the Edit page. However, the trimming behavior
in the Fairlight page is more akin to trimming with the selection tool on the Edit page, and
not the trim tool. You can extend or shorten clips without worrying about pushing tracks
outof sync because Fairlight never ripple trims clips.
