A quick start
Using Console 1 Fader in new project
Instantiate Console 1 Fader as an insert effect on as many audio tracks as you want. The plugin is called “Console
1” in the plugins list, since it shares software with Console 1. Your computer will automatically detect what Softube
hardware items that are connected to your system, so the right plugin will always be loaded.
After instantiation, Console 1 Fader confirms its presence by moving the corresponding slider up.
As work progresses and you add more tracks to your project, add Console 1 Fader on those tracks too. If your track
count exceeds 10, you can easily access the higher numbered tracks by pressing Page + on your console. Pressing
Page – takes you back again.
At the bottom of the Console 1 Fader channels, there is a row of buttons, the Track Selectors. If you want to adjust
Pan or Width, or choose a Layer, press the appropriate Track Selector button first, or simply touch the fader of
that track.
There are numerous other functions available with Console 1 Fader. Read more about them in the detailed sections
below.
Using Console 1 Fader as a
volume control for an effects
input or return can be a very
good idea. Just imagine how
effective dynamic reverbs and
echoes can be in a song.
You can even instantiate
Console 1 Fader on the master
bus to create a really smooth
fade-out. You should use the
Solo Safe function found in
the small plugin window, to
make sure that the master bus
is always open, even if you solo
another track.
