Turning Faders Off
You can “mute” the faders so they do not follow any underlying automation for quieter operation during
editing or mixdown. This does not affect automation, it merely parks the faders so they do not move during
playback or Bounce to Disk/Quicktime.
To turn faders off on Artist Control:
 From Page 1 (HOME) in the Touchscreen, press AUTO ADV > AUTO PREF > Faders Off. (Repeat to turn
faders back on.)
– or –
 Hold SHIFT while pressing SOLO in fader strip 1. (Repeat to turn faders back on.)
To turn faders off on Artist Mix:
 Hold SHIFT while pressing SOLO in fader strip 1. (Repeat to turn faders back on.)
It is sometimes helpful to turn the faders off. See “Turning Faders Off” on page 77.
You can add a new Touchscreen key for Export Selected Tracks as New Session. In the Soft Keys Com-
mand Editor, add a EUCON command and choose File > Export > Export Selected Tracks as New Ses-
sion. For more information, see “Adding a New Touchscreen Soft Key on Artist Control” on page 14.
