You can also use the buttons above each fader on the external fader controller or mixer to solo or
mute an individual audio track as follows:
• Some EUCON devices have solo and mute buttons above the fader. Additionally, some
devices include an On key, which indicates that a specified track is unmuted.
• 002, Command|8
®
and MCS-3000X have separate buttons for solo and mute. On Symphony
systems, Command|8
®
and MCS-3000X have separate buttons for solo and mute.
Interpreting Position Indicator Lights
The position indicator lights indicate whether the external fader controller or mixer is connected
and configured correctly. They also provide information about the current location of the volume
faders on the external fader controller or mixer.
Position indicator lights in the Audio Mixer tool
The following table describes how to interpret the position indicator lights.
n
The position indicator lights are not used for pan recording. However the blue lights do indicate
that the device is connected and configured correctly.
The position indicator lights are especially useful for the FaderMaster Pro because you must
position the faders close to the track volume before you start recording. Otherwise, you might
create an unwanted jump in the volume when you move the faders during a recording.
n
Your Avid editing application does not record values from a fader on the FaderMaster Pro until
you move the fader. Then it reads the current position of the fader and adjusts the volume
accordingly. In many cases, it is not possible to exactly match the Timeline value.
Colors Description
Both lights are blue. The fader matches the current Timeline volume.
Only top light is blue. The fader is higher than the Timeline volume.
Only bottom light is blue. The fader is lower than the Timeline volume.
Both lights are gray. Either there is no fader controller or mixer attached to the system or
the Avid system does not recognize the fader controller or mixer.
