The Record mode toolset is where you do your recording and offers specialized toolsets for both Manual and ADR recording. There are keys for every recording feature available on the Fairlight page including keys to open and close the Patch Input/Output window and ADR panels as well as rate takes without needing your mouse. Latch the ADR List, ADR Record or ADR Setup keys to open the associated panels on the computer screen. When either the ADR List or ADR Record keys are latched, you’ll see picture keys for each interface button in the associated workflows. For example, latching the ADR Record key reveals a set of seven specialized keys for ADR Recording, including Previous Cue, Next Cue, Previous Take, Next Take, Rehearse Cue, Record Cue, and Play Cue. These keys work exactly the same as using a mouse and keyboard on the ADR Record panel in the Fairlight page interface.
NOTE: When recording in the Fairlight page, tracks must be armed before recording, and only tracks with inputs patched to them can be armed. Luckily, there is a key in the Record Mode toolset for opening the Patch Input/Output window. Use a momentary press on the Record key and Latch a Track Selection Key to arm that track.

The Fairlight Audio Editor includes a special set of Manual recording options that are only available on the Editor. These options use either playhead, clip, or range boundaries, as well as user-defined pre- roll and post-roll that can be set in the User Preferences, Editing panel.
Record mode default toolset
— Record Here: Playhead goes back the pre-roll duration, then punches into Record at the location where you issued the command. This can be useful when you zoom in to find the exact timecode position where you want to punch in to record, then simply issue this command by pressing the Record Here key and the system does everything for you.
— Record Range: The playhead includes a pre-roll and punches into Record at the Range In point, and then punches out at the Range Out point.
— Record Clip: After pre-roll, the playhead punches in and out to match the duration of the clip under the playhead on the selected track. If no clip is beneath the playhead, the transport moves forward to the next clip in the track and records there.
— Record Again: Pressing this key repeats the last recording you made, both entry and exit, whether it was manually or automatically punched in.
