Edit Quick Menu layouts and button options include:
– BLANK: This default layout has no actions assigned to the six User buttons. This is to prevent new
users from accidentally editing their projects via User buttons.
– BASIC: Use to this button layout to place common fast-editing actions at your fingertips. Use
the dial and transport controls with your right hand for navigation and selection, while quickly
choosing editing actions via the User buttons with your left hand.
– Cut Clip/Cut Range: Press User 1 to cut the currently selected material and place it in the
clipboard. The cut material maintains its relationship to the playhead in a semi-transparent form,
so you can see exactly where it will be pasted as you move the playhead or selection to a new
location. To Paste the clip, press the User 3 button. Alternatively, you can cut and paste clips
on-the-fly by holding the User 1 button to cut, continue playback or move the playhead until the
semi-transparent clip is in position, then release the User 1 button to paste.
– Copy Clip/Copy Range: Press User 2 to copy the currently selected material to the clipboard.
Move the semi-transparent copied clip to position, then press the User 3 button to paste. Since
this is a standard clipboard editing tool, you can paste additional copies of the material by
pressing User 2 again. If you’d rather copy and paste during playback, press and hold User 2 to
copy the selection and release to paste.
– Paste: Press User 3 to paste the current clipboard material into the Timeline based on the
selected tracks and playhead position.
– Split Clip/Split Range: Press User 4 to split the clip or range at the playhead position, creating
a new edit point between two clips or at the range boundaries. The split editing action is based
on the selected tracks and playhead position.
– Trim Head: Press User 5 to erase the portion of the selected clip to the left of the playhead.
Alternatively, press and hold User 5 while the playhead is over a selected clip to reveal all of
the clip’s handles (unused frames) to the left of the playhead. While continuing to hold User 5,
move the playhead along the extended clip to find a new starting frame. Release User 5 to trim
the head of the clip to the new playhead position.
– Trim Tail: Press User 6 to erase the portion of the selected clip to the right of the playhead.
Alternatively, press and hold User 6 while the playhead is over a selected clip to reveal all of
the clip’s handles (unused frames) to the right of the playhead. Continue holding User 6 while
moving the playhead to the last desired frame. Release User 6 to trim the clip’s tail to the new
playhead position.
NOTE: Although you can manually click to select individual clips with a mouse while editing
with a standard keyboard. Fairlight Console audio editing is centered around automatic clip
selection based on the selected tracks and playhead position for fast, on-the-fly workflows.
As the playhead passes over a clip on a selected track, that clip is automatically selected,
thus allowing effortless Cut, Copy, Paste, and Trim functions at the touch of a button.
– LEVEL: As the name suggests, the options in this User Button menu are all based on controlling
the selected clip’s level. Like the Edit-Basic options, the Edit-Level options are based on selection
and playhead position. Additionally, modifier keys offer more User Button menu options. In most
cases these expanded options are directly related to the default menu option so that you can
quickly fine tune your actions as you go.
– Clip Level: Hold User 1 and turn the dial to increase or decrease the selected clip’s level.
This affects the selected clip beneath the playhead and can be performed while the transport
is stopped or during playback as the playhead passes over a clip in the selected track.
