Common Uses for Master Faders

Master Faders can be used to:

Control and process output mixes

Monitor and meter an output (such as a bus or hardware output) to guard against clipping

Control submix levels

Control effects sends levels

Control submaster (bussed tracks) levels

Apply dither or other inserts to an entire mix

Use Master Faders to control submix levels, send level masters, and other outputs. Master Faders can control either output or internal busses. You can use a Master Fader track assigned to an Output path as a master volume control. You can also use a Master Fader track assigned to a bus to trim the inputs to Auxiliary Input tracks for submixes to avoid clipping.
