Multifunction Pan Knob: Guide
The multifunction pan knob can be used for panning or can be assigned to control other Fairlight parameters. Hold Control and tap to reset, or hold Shift for refined control. As it's a rotary encoder, it won't introduce signal noise like worn mechanical knobs.
Channel-Strip operation
All 12 fader strips provide individual mute and solo keys, enabling rapid track isolation or temporary deactivation. Multifunction choose buttons can be used to load track parameters and activate automation and plug-in controls.
Motorized Faders: Guide
12 belt-driven 100mm motorized faders supply precision volume control for adjusting levels. The bank control buttons let you switch between fader sets to control distinct channels. Faders can even be assigned to refine send and capture levels.
Transport Controls and Navigation
Large multitrack projects under tight deadlines leave little time for repeated timeline scrolling via the timeline or hunting for a clip. The Fairlight Desktop Console helps you work faster since it incorporates transport keys plus a precision jog/shuttle wheel. These controls rapidly navigate the timeline, move among clips, scrub, start or stop playback, and jump to selected positions.

Task-Based operation
Control function selector buttons let you assign the buttons and knobs on the panel for distinct purposes. You can quickly choose between master and channel controls, panning, plug-in control, EQ, dynamics, and more. By default, the console works in strip setting, giving you one channel strip per track. Focus setting lets you assign all of the choose buttons and knobs on the console to work on the parameters or plug-ins for a single track. That means you can refine the EQ, dynamics, or any other plug-in parameter for a track through all of the choose buttons and knobs on the console. For example, you can refine several frequency ranges in the EQ at the same time, which is impossible to do with a mouse.
recording production flow Automation
Fairlight's powerful automation lets you capture parameter changes you make over time. For example, you can capture level changes as you move the faders on the console. Fader adjustments are saved and can be edited later. Fairlight lets you automate anything from simple level changes to complex plug-in, EQ, and dynamics changes. Live adjustments can therefore be created and stored from the console. Touch sensitivity activates a fader or knob as soon as it is contacted, allowing the console to identify the intended parameter before the control is moved. Six automation buttons permit and disable automation, set capture method, and set which automation curves appear in the timeline tracks.
Monitoring operation
The Fairlight page has incredibly adaptable observation, so you can preview your sound from a variety of distinct speaker sets. Monitoring can move among headphones, nearfield speakers, primary stereo monitors, and complete immersive 3D surround arrays.The observation From the Fairlight Desktop Console, operators can rapidly change sources, adjust booth and studio levels, and manage talkback when the computer has a Fairlight Audio Interface.
