The A-FADA Method
A-FADA (Analogue Fader Accesses DAW Automation) is an innovative approach to analogue console automation, utilising the
automation system of a DAW to control the analogue channel levels.
A-FADA links the DAW fader and mute data to the console’s channel level and cut functions, allowing all the workstation

advantages of ‘in the box’ mixing whilst retaining a full analogue process and mix path.
Operationally, A-FADA is identical to running a standard DAW mix from a hardware control surface. With this in mind, the
descriptions below should provide enough information to get you going.

In your DAW, create 16 new blank audio tracks which will be used to control the analogue channel faders on Matrix. Make sure

on these 16 tracks will control the analogue channels of Matrix.
Your existing tracks with audio recorded to them should be routed out of different outputs on your audio interface and into
Matrix via the analogue channel inputs as normal.
If you have existing DAW automation you wish to re-use, copy it from the audio tracks and paste it to the blank tracks you have

If the automation is deleted rather than disabled, micro-automation (such as the removal of undesirable transients) can be
performed on the original audio tracks within the DAW using a mouse or trackball
