User Manual

TIP: Setting monitor levels is an example of how different areas of the Fairlight Audio
Editor work together to quickly achieve a goal. To further define an example, a user
could be in the middle of a session and decide to change the Dim level. Without
interrupting the current task, the user could momentarily hold the Monitor mode key
with one hand and with the other hand, quickly adjust the Dim Level. When finished,
the user only needs to release the Monitor key to resume whatever they were working
on. Latching the Dim button on the Monitor controls will now reduce the Control Room
monitors to the newly defined Dim level.
Numeric Keypad
For the most part, the numeric keypad on the Fairlight Audio Editor is self explanatory and
functions exactly the same as the numeric keypad on an extended keyboard for entering
timecode and number values. There are, however a few specialized keys, such as Colon (:),
Clear, and GoTo, that can be used to expedite timecode entry, set locators, and quickly move
the playhead or clip to a specific time. Additionally, there are some user-definable operations,
such as Review, where you can combine a momentary hold on the Review key plus a Number
Key (1 to 9) to set the number of seconds you’d like the playhead to jump back for the Review
operation. The timecode is displayed in the Timecode field in the upper-left corner of the
Timeline on the computer display, so you can always see the new timecode values as you type.
