If you have any dynamics plug-ins on your master fader channel, adjusting the master fader will change the level of audio going into these plug-ins and increase or decrease the amount of compression being applied.
This is OK up to a point, until you come to bounce out your mix, at which point the master fader level matters a lot - not least because, in Pro Tools, the master fader track is the one place where the inserts are post-fade.
I have lost count of the number of users I have seen use the master fader on the session as the monitor level control.

If you have your stereo monitor speakers fed directly from a pair of interface outputs, and your interface does not itself have an output level control, the first problem you need to resolve is how to adjust the monitor speaker volume. You will need some spare inputs and outputs on your interface to enable some of these features. In this workshop, we’ll look at how best to do this, and how to save the results as a template session that you can use on all your projects. Some audio interfaces include basic monitor control, and stand-alone hardware monitor controllers are available, but it’s also possible to set up the functions you need within the Pro Tools mixer. Nowadays, many of us no longer use a ‘real’ mixer, but those functions are still just as important. In the days when studios always had a hardware mixer, functions such as talkback, mono fold-down and speaker switching would be handled from its master section.
Here’s how to add them to the Pro Tools mixer. Some of the most important features of a hardware console are found in its master section.
