Each Resolume layer has separate A, V, and M sliders fading audio, video, and both
Every Resolume layer carries its own vertical faders: ‘A’ fades that layer’s audio in and out, ‘V’ fades its video, and ‘M’ (master) controls both together. Because audio and video are on independent faders, a performer can fade a layer’s video to black while its audio keeps running, or silence a layer without dropping its visuals. This A/V separation is a key live-performance move for building transitions and for de-coupling the soundtrack from the picture during a set.
Examples
Play a clip on layer 2. Pull its V slider to zero — video disappears but audio continues. Pull the A slider to zero to silence it. Use M to fade the whole layer out at once.
Assessment
A performer wants to cross-fade the visual from layer 2 to layer 3 while keeping layer 2’s audio playing. Which sliders on which layers do they touch?
