I get how it's used. I just don't get WHY it's used. You dedicate a fader as the attention fader and now you've got 2 linked faders doing the same function. If you've only got a MC Control, maybe then it makes sense. The second channel fader would, more than likely, be off the range of the controller. But if you've got a Mix or a Mix/MC Control combo, it doesn't make sense. You've got ONE selected channel but 2 faders lit up on the hardware, but they're not part of a group or VCA link or even a linked pair of channels. So, that seems like it would cause some unnecessary confusion.
How, exactly, is this supposed to make things more efficient? |
It makes sense when you have a giant mix and not enough faders, or you have so many faders that you don't want to reach all the way across the desk to do simple things.
