Multi Track

Multitrack buses provide bus paths for combining feeds that you want to re-record to disk, or

route to other I/O.

Buses in Nested Timelines

When you nest a timeline inside of another timeline that has buses set up for mixing in the

Fairlight page, all Sub and Aux routings work as intended within the nested timeline, which

exposes all channels of Main 1 in the enclosing timeline. In this sense, the audio of the nested

timeline can be considered to be a submix that outputs its resulting audio to the audio track it’s

edited onto.

Exposing Bus Tracks in the Timeline

You can expose any bus, including Mains, Subs, and Aux buses, as a track in the Timeline.

This makes it possible to view and edit automation that’s applied to parameters on that bus.

To show a bus in the Timeline:

1 Open the Automation controls by clicking the automation button on the Fairlight toolbar.

2 Open the Index, and click the eye button for the Main you want to see in the Timeline.

3 You can choose any automation curve you want to view by choosing it from the

drop-down menu in the track header controls.

Controlling Signal Flow

The process of setting yourself up for editing and mixing in the Fairlight page involves:

–

First, customizing the tracks of the timeline to be organized and

configured as required.

–

Second, creating the buses you need in order to organize your signal flow.

–

Third, patching the tracks to Subs, and the Subs to Mains, in order to create the

signal flow you need.

Managing Audio Tracks

When you’re getting ready to record or edit audio clips into the Fairlight Timeline, you need to

make sure you’ve got enough tracks to do the job. The following procedures cover the different

methods available for adding, removing, and rearranging tracks as you work. These commands

are all available via the contextual menu that appears when you right-click anywhere in the

Timeline header area (the header of the Timeline is the area to the left where each track’s

various buttons and controls are located).
