Fader Strips
Command|8 provides eight fader strips with
identical controls.
Channel Faders
Each channel has its own 100 mm, servo-driven,
touch-sensitive, motorized fader for controlling
levels of audio and MIDI tracks, Auxiliary In-
puts, VCA Masters (Pro Tools HD only), and
Master Faders. In Flip mode, the faders control
send levels and plug-in parameters. For more in-
formation about Fader Gain (+12 dB and +6 dB
sessions) see the
Pro Tools Reference Guide
.
Fader Mute
Because Command|8 faders are motorized, they
move to follow automation when playing back
and recording (when the track is set to an auto-
mation read or write mode, and not Off). During
critical listening passes, the sound of the fader
motors and their automated movements may be
distracting. You can temporarily shut off (or
mute
) motorized fader movement using the
F4/Fader Mute switch.
To shut off the faders on Command|8:
Press F4/Fader Mute. While enabled, faders
park and do not respond to touching or move-
ment. Previously recorded automation contin-
ues to affect playback; the faders are disengaged
from reading.
Channel Solo and Mute Switches
Each channel has Solo and Mute switches, lo-
cated above the fader. These switches show the
Pro Tools Solo and Mute status for each track.
When a track is soloed, the Mute switches on
other tracks in the session flash. When a track is
muted, the Mute switch is lit continuously.
The Solo switch function follows the Pro Tools
Operation preference for latched operation. (See
the
Pro Tools Reference Guide
for details.)
