Chapter 14 Audio
External Audio Fader
If an external audio fader is connected via a MIDI interface, the Audio Mixer Faders (for Audio Mix Auto-
mation, for example) can also be controlled by hardware. The operation remains essentially the same; the
only step you need to carry out before mixing is to balance the hardware faders with the software faders
in the Audio Editor to ensure smooth fades in and out.

The Audio Tool can also be operated with an external fader.
Faders Supported
At this time, Avid Liquid supports the “Fader Master Pro” from JLCooper Electronics. For the latest
information on other devices supported, contact your specialized dealer.
Installation
To connect the external fader, your system must be equipped with a midi interface (gameport) with a D-
sub 15-pin connector.
This interface may already be mounted on your motherboard or may be available via an installed sound
card. You may also use Danka Data Device’s midiLink adaptor which connects to your computer’s COM
port (www.dankadata.com). In any case, the required (midi) driver must be correctly installed in the
Windows Control Panel > Multimedia (see also the installation instructions for the sound card).
Fader Master Pro is connected to the system via an additional adapter from D-sub 15-pin (with photo-
coupler) to a 2x 5-pin DIN connector.
To externally control the faders, you have to set the mode for volume control (F01) or panning (F03) on
the Fader Master (all other modes are ignored).
Midi Properties
In the User settings dialog you will find an item called Midi Properties. Use these options to configure
Midi devices and Midi ports.
Open Edit > Control Panel > User > Midi Properties (a mixer icon) and select the appropriate options.
