While in a group, you can still move the faders of each individual channel strip independently to make
relative adjustments. Channel strip faders only move together when you adjust the group fader, and
while the group fader is being moved, each individual fader’s relative offset from other faders in that
group is maintained, as seen in the previous screenshot, where the Group 1 fader is moving the faders
in tracks Audio 2, 3, and 4, but each individual channel strip fader in this group is offset from
the others.
Recording Fader Automation for Groups
You can record automation data to the group fader, and all faders in that group will follow even though
they’re not actually automated themselves. This makes it easy to record complex automation involving
multiple faders when you still might want the freedom to finely adjust each individual fader later on.
Arm, Solo, and Mute Buttons
Identical to the controls found in the track header controls of each timeline audio track.
The channel strip’s Arm, Solo, and Mute buttons
– Record Arm: (highlights red when enabled) Lets you enable a track to be recorded onto.
– Solo: (highlights green for Solo, blue for Solo Safe) Lets you mute all other tracks in order to play
a track you need to focus on in isolation. If solo is enabled for multiple tracks, all soloed tracks will
play, and all non-soloed tracks will be muted. This affects rendering, so if one or more tracks are
soloed, the muted tracks won’t be output or rendered.
– Solo Safe: Command-Option-click a Solo button to put it into “Solo Safe” mode. Tracks set to
Solo Safe, in which the Solo button is highlighted in blue, always play even if Solo is enabled for
other tracks. This is good for tracks you want to continue listening to for reference even as you
solo other specific tracks you want to pay more attention to.
– Mute: (highlights orange when enabled) Turning on Mute disables audio playback from that track.
This affects rendering, so if one or more tracks are muted, they won’t be output or rendered.
TIP: You can click a button and drag across multiple channel strips to turn that button on or
off for multiple tracks easily.
Fader Controls
Each track’s vertical fader lets you control the level that’s output by that track, either using your mouse,
or using the physical fader of your Fairlight console. If you’re working with a console, then the
onscreen faders serve as a visual reference of what levels are set.
– dB: Shows you the volume, in decibels, that track is currently set to.
– Fader: Each track’s vertical fader can be dragged with your mouse or other pointing device to
adjust the volume of that track and perform automation recording. Dragging up increases volume,
dragging down decreases volume. Fader handles turn red while you record levels automation, and
they turn green when automation has been recorded for that track.
