Named Macro 1 in the Macros Mode keys
TIP: If you are going to name your macros, it’s a good idea to give them a brief but
literal name to help you remember the macro’s function. In the above example, the
macro was named A1 to A2 because it was designed to move a clip from the A1 track to
the A2 track.
Mix Mode Toolset
Whether you are using the Fairlight Audio Editor with your computer, or as part of a Fairlight
Console, the Editor’s Mix mode offers easy access to a powerful array of mixing and automation
tools. Here you can copy and paste EQ, Dynamics, Aux, Path, Plug-ins or all of the above to
other tracks and buses as well as automate any parameter. The heart of the Mix mode toolset is
the Mix On/Off key. Latching Mix On brings all of Fairlight’s powerful automation tools and menu
options to the picture keyboard so you can control every aspect of your automation without
ever reaching for the mouse. If you are familiar with Fairlight’s mixing and automation tools in
DaVinci Resolve, you’ll have no trouble finding your way around this toolset because there is a
picture key for every switch, toggle, menu, and sub-menu option available in the Fairlight page’s
robust automation toolset.
The functionality of each specialized key is exactly the same as using the software alone.
However, the advantage of mixing with the Fairlight Audio Editor or a Fairlight Console is that
you’ll have physical controls including touch-sensitive knobs for precision automation recording
and mixing maneuvers without the distraction of a mouse and menus.
NOTE: For a detailed rundown of the Fairlight Automation tools and features, please
refer to Chapter 157, “Automation Recording.”
