for more information.
Audio Tracks
Audio tracks, Auxiliary Inputs, and Master Fad-
ers share many identical controls. Figure 4
shows the controls found in audio or Auxiliary
Input tracks. Master Faders provide all the same
features as audio tracks and Auxiliary Input
tracks, with the following exceptions:
Input Selector A Master Fader's output assign-
ment determines its input, or source.
Inserts Inserts on Master Faders are post-fader
only. (Audio track and Aux Input track inserts
are all pre-fader.)
Sends Master Faders do not provide sends. To
send an output to another destination, use an
Auxiliary Input.
