Apple Final Cut Pro 7 - Manual (Page 911)

How Audio Mixer Tracks Correspond to Control Surface Faders
The track number assigned to a physical fader corresponds to the track strips visible in
the Audio Mixer. For example, if only tracks A1 and A8 are visible in the Audio Mixer, they
correspond to the first and second faders on your control surface.
For more information about showing and hiding track strips in the Audio Mixer, see “Track
Visibility Area.”
Arranging Control Surface Order
If you have more than one control surface configured to work in Final Cut Pro, the physical
faders are numbered so that control surfaces whose icons appear toward the left side of
the Control Surface Configuration dialog have lower-numbered faders. Control surfaces
whose icons appear toward the right side have higher-numbered faders.
Important: For proper track numbering, the order of control surface icons in the Control
Surface Configuration dialog should match the physical layout of your control surfaces.
To rearrange the order of control surface icons
1 Choose Tools > Control Surfaces.
Tracks 1–8 Tracks 9–16
Note: There must be at least two control surfaces connected if you want to rearrange
their order.
2 Do one of the following:
• Press Shift-Left Angle Bracket (<) or Shift-Right Angle Bracket (>).
• Drag a control surface icon to a new position to the left or right.
• Press the Left Arrow or Right Arrow key to select a control surface icon, then click the
Shift Order Left or Shift Order Right button to move the control surface icon.
3 Click OK.
