Assigning Buses
Once you’ve created one or more buses, you’ll want to assign different tracks to specific buses,
and different Subs to specific Mains. This is accomplished in the Bus Assign window, which you
can open by choosing Fairlight > Bus Assign, or by clicking the Bus Assign button in the Bus
Format window.
The Bus Assign window lets you choose which tracks are connected to which
buses, and which buses are connected to which mains
The top shows all of the available Main, Sub, and Multi Track buses, while the bottom shows all
available tracks, Sub buses, and Aux buses. The Bus Assign window defaults to Icon view, in
which each Bus and Track is shown as a button, but it can be switched to List view, in which the
Available Tracks section is shown as a list.
Methods of making bus assignments:
 To assign specific tracks to a bus: Click a button in the Buses section to select that
bus, and then either click or drag a bounding box over all the available tracks that you
want to assign to that bus. Once assigned, the Available Tracks buttons display which
Bus they’ve been assigned to.
Assigning multiple tracks to a bus by dragging a bounding box
 To assign every track, Sub, and Aux to a bus: Click a button in the Buses section to
select that bus, and then click Assign All.
 To clear all track assignments from a particular bus: Click a button in the Buses
section to select that bus, and then click Unassign All.
When you’re done making bus assignments, click Save.
