Editing Audio control surface (section)

== Types of Controls on Control Surfaces ==
=== Non-Motorized Faders ===
Traditional slider-style level controls. They work well in a live production environment, listening to others while creating music, and providing playback to DJs when looping. They are not recommended for mixing with DAWS due to the lack of data output.<ref name=":1" /> 

=== Motorized Faders ===
The faders are motorized for playback of a mix. They represent the physical position of a channel's level at a specific position in a mix's timeline. You can create new data by grabbing it during the mix and it will overwrite what is there.<ref name=":1" /> 

=== Buttons ===
Often will have an LED to indicate on or off. They can indicate channel mutes, solo sends, talkback, or perform navigation within a menu.<ref name=":1" /> 

=== Transport Controls ===
These are the buttons that look like a conventional tape. They allow you to play, stop, fast forward.<ref name=":1" /> 

=== Display/Meters ===
Mimics the meters on screen on the DAW's computer display. It may show different settings, levels, routing, time code, and other information.<ref name=":1" />
