Each track on the Fairlight page is divided into lanes, which show each

individual channel of clip audio for editing and mixing. The edit page hides these

individual audio channels, displaying only a single clip in the timeline to make it easier

to edit multi channel sources without needing to manage a huge number of tracks.

The track header on track A1 indicates a mono track with a single lane for mono audio,

and the A2 track header indicates a stereo track with two lanes to accommodate stereo audio

What is a Bus?

A bus is essentially a destination channel to which you can route multiple audio tracks from the

timeline, so that they are mixed together into a single signal that can be controlled via a single

channel strip.

'Main busses' are typically the primary output of a program and each new

project you create starts out with a single 'main bus', to which all tracks are routed by

default. The 'main bus' combines all of the tracks in the timeline into one signal so that

you can adjust the overall level of the audio mix once you have adjusted the level of

each individual track.

'Sub busses' allow you to combine multiple tracks of audio that belong to the

same category such as dialogue, music or effects so that everything in that category

can be mixed as a single audio signal. For example, if you have five dialogue tracks,

you can route the output of all five dialogue tracks to a 'submix bus', and the level of all

dialogue can then be mixed with a single set of controls. This submix can be rendered

separately or sent to the main bus for render.

Each audio track in your timeline corresponds to an individual channel strip in the Mixer, and by

default there's a single strip on the right for the 'main bus' labeled 'M1'. Additional channel strips

will appear on the right hand side with a set of controls for each additional 'main' and 'submix

bus' you create. A set of graphical controls allows you to assign track channels to output

channels, adjust EQ and dynamics, set levels and record automation, pan stereo and surround

audio, and mute and solo tracks.
