27.3 DAW Control Surface Applications
The DAW control function can be applied in a variety of ways. A few examples are listed below,
but the system is not limited to these applications.
1.
Fader 1 and/or Fader 2 could be assigned to control the DAW to provide a tactile control
while “mixing-in-the-box.”
2.
Fader 2 can be assigned to DAW control and Fader 1 can return the same DAW track to
the console. This provides an easy means of accessing both the DAW and console
controls from the same channel strip.
