Fader Section Overview
The Fader section consists of the 24 Fader strips,
as well as other channel displays and controls.
(For details on the Fader strips, see Chapter 9,
“Working with Tracks.”)
Keyboard Shortcuts Section
In the lower left of the Control|24, there are four
switches, labeled SHIFT/ADD,
(CTRL),
CTL/CLUTCH and OPT(ALT)/ALL. These
switches provide the standard Windows and
Mac modifier keys for modifying actions and se-
lections.
Automation Section
The controls in the Automation section let you
enable Automation modes, select channel Auto-
mation type, write, and suspend automation.
When the Demo Session starts, the correspond-
ing LED is lit on each channel (in this case, the
RD light indicates that the channel is in Read
mode), and you will see some of the faders move
as they read the song’s automation information.
For more details about Automation Modes, see
Chapter 14, “Automation.”
Channel Settings
Control|24 provides dedicated switches to man-
age and apply settings, solo safe channels, and
clear all solos.

ability to apply a task to all channels, or all se-
lected channels directly from Control|24.

equalization and dynamics processing plug-in
effects assigned in the current session. The IN-
SERTS switch accesses
all of your TDM and RTAS
