Customizing the Fairlight Page

The default layout is quite efficient for a number of tasks on most displays. You can always return to the default layout by choosing Workspace > Reset UI Layout. However, the Fairlight page can be customized to create more room for specific areas of the interface to accommodate different tasks.


To resize any area of the Fairlight page:

— Drag the vertical or horizontal border between any two panels to enlarge one and shrink the other.

To resize the height of individual audio tracks:

— Move the pointer to the bottom border of any audio track header, and when it becomes a resize cursor, drag that border up or down to resize that track. Each track can have an independent size when you do this.

To resize any column of the Index:

— Move your pointer over the divider between any two columns and drag when the horizontal resize cursor appears.

To rearrange Index columns:
