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.
