To clarify any Raven fader can go anywhere because it just follows the order in DP Tracks window. But the Raven shows only 24 faders at a time. It's easy to bank 24 or 1 channel by swiping or Command button. But once a channel is tuned in I rarely adjust it.Robert Randolph wrote:Why do you need to have your master/sum faders on the left when using Raven?waxman wrote:The Raven forced me to have the Master Fader and sum faders far left.

However masters and aux sums are always being adjusted. I prefer keeping them in a static "home position." If they they are on the right they keep getting pushed down the line which can and often are divided from one another by 2 screens.
Another reason is if I track 10 guitars those all have DI's. Once tracked the DI tracks go in a folder and go to the bottom of the Tracks Window and I hide them. So that is far right in the Raven mixer which unfortunately you can't hide anything. Once tracked and committed to audio I may not touch the DI's until mixing if ever again. I end up with an XTRA folder which can have 50 to 100 tracks of Keys, MIDI, VI's, DI's, Vocal takes, single BG vox's (not comped) etc.
