fader

Mixing board slider

A fader is a sliding control on audio equipment that adjusts volume or signal levels.

Unlike rotary knobs, faders move along a linear track, allowing precise adjustments and visual feedback of relative levels across multiple channels: She pushed up the faders on the drum tracks.
