After fader listening
After Fader Listening (AFL) can be found in sound engineering in recording devices and mixing consoles . It is a function for checking the audio signal that is output after fading different channels or after adjusting the volume . For this purpose, the signal is output to the monitor or headphone output of the device.
functionality
As a rule, when the AFL button is pressed, the level of the signal is also sent to a corresponding display instrument (e.g. LED chain). AFL is particularly suitable for looping in external audio effects , as the signal ratios of the unprocessed audio signal to the FX signal are retained. AFL differs from pre-fader listening (PFL) in that the signal can be checked after the fade, whereas with the PFL the channels can be previewed separately.
