I’ve both heard of and seen on documentaries mixing desks with automated “flying” faders that automatically shift the faders. I’m confused as to what the purpose of the automation is – is it when switching between different songs, or is it picking up a certain sound that requires particular mixing too complicated to do manually?
In: Technology
It’s for convenience while programming. Let’s say you have 2 banks of 12 faders on a desk that has 48 inputs or something, you obviously don’t have 1 fader for every input so as you flip pages in the audio consoles GUI your faders will follow along and track position from bank to bank. Or another use case would be yeah from song to song making quick changes to a mix say if you’re a monitor engineer and want to quickly jump from one sub mix to the next, the faders will track with the GUI of the console
