My Fader vs Master Fader
The previous page displayed an image of what the entire mixer view of My Fader looks like and we just
discussed the differences between My Fader and Master Fader, but let’s take a closer look at what was just
explained. We’ll break down the mixer view before moving onto the tools and shows sections.
The images below show side-by-side comparisons (and differences) between the My Fader and Master Fader
channel strips (left) and output strips (right).
While My Fader doesn’t have every single feature that Master Fader does, it does offer a wide-selection of
tools necessary to run a show. Let’s break it down.
Mute
– Mute buttons do just what they sound like they do. They mute – turn off – the signal on
the channel(s). Engaging a channel’s mute switch provides the same results as sliding the channel
fader all the way down.
Mute buttons illuminate red when engaged and are gray when disengaged.
Please note that muting a channel mutes it all on all outputs, not just the output that is currently
shown.
