User Manual

Additional enhanced features only available in the Fairlight Audio Editor:
 Call Follows key: In addition to selecting a track, there are other criteria for making
a track active and “calling” its information into the Editor screen and corresponding
Channel Control bay if you are on a Fairlight Audio Editor connected to a Fairlight
console. These Call Follows menu options depend on the physical buttons,
touch-sensitive knobs, and faders on the Fairlight console. The Call Follows menu key
offers five Call Option keys that can be used alone or in combination to determine
which track or master bus is active:
–
Current Track: When toggled on, the most recently selected track is the active track.
–
Fader Touch: When toggled on, touching a fader on the Fader panel makes it active.
–
Pan Touch: When toggled on, touching the Pan knob on the Fader panel makes it
the active track.
–
Inline Touch: When toggled on, touching any touch sensitive knob on the Channel
Control panel, while set to Inline mode, calls that track and makes it active.
–
Solo Button: Latching the Solo button on the Fader panel makes it active.
Using a mouse or the Solo button on the Fairlight Audio Editor does not “call”
the track active. Only the Solo button on the Fairlight Fader Control panel works in
this scenario.
 Undo Editor/Undo All: This key is a matter of operator preference. When set to the
default (unlatched), Undo Editor, tasks performed in Mix mode, including recording
and editing automation data, will not be undoable. You can, however, simply record
new mixing data to override the previous data as needed. Latching this key enables
the Undo All mode, which in turn will undo all actions including automation applied in
Mix mode.
 CTI Fixed/Moving: This key lets you choose whether the playhead (CTI) moves across
the Timeline, or is fixed in place with the Timeline scrolling past.
 Preview Track/Mon: This key determines where preview monitoring goes when
auditioning a sound and comes in handy when you need to preview a clip in the
Media Pool or Sound Library. When toggled to Preview Track, you will put the track in
Thru mode so it works like a live mic input and the sound you preview will be subject
to the track’s fader levels, solo or mute state, and any processing applied to the
track. If toggled to Preview Mon, the sound goes directly to the monitors without any
processing or controls via the track’s channel strip in the mixer or console.
 Normal Solo/Solo Follows: This lets you customize how the Solo commands work.
Normal Solo/Solo Follows is a bypass toggle for the Call Follows, Solo Button option.
If the Call Follows, Solo Button menu options key is latched, and the Normal Solo/Solo
Follows key is latched, soloing a track in the Audio Editor or Channel Fader panel “calls”
that track’s information into the Editor display on the Audio Editor, and the Channel
display in a Fairlight Console Channel bay. Unlatching the Normal Solo/Solo Follows
key bypasses the Solo Call feature and returns Solo functionality to Normal Solo
behavior, as the name suggests.
Using the Playhead as a Sync Point indicator to sync sound to picture using
Video Online/Offline key:
1 With the Video Online/Offline key latched on, move the Playhead to the desired frame
in the Timeline. For this example, let’s make it the frame where a door slams closed in
the Viewer.
2 Unlatch the Video Online/Offline key so that it is offline.
