Mixing : Basic Mixing : Master Fader Tracks and Signal Flow : Using a Master Fader

Using a Master Fader
To use a Master Fader as a stereo master volume control:
1 Create a stereo Master Fader track.
2 Set the outputs of all audio tracks in the session to the main output path (for example, outputs 1–2 of your primary audio interface) and set the panning for each track.
3 Set the output of the Master Fader to the main output path.
To use a Master Fader to trim the input to a submix:
1 Create an Auxiliary Input track.
2 Bus the signal from audio tracks in your session to the input of the Auxiliary Input track.
3 Create a stereo Master Fader track and assign the Output to the bus path that feeds the Auxiliary Input track.
