The HOME Tab

Press SELECT on any input channel and the config screen opens on HOME — the channel's cockpit. Everything important about that channel at a glance: its levels, its core controls, the order its processing runs in, and how loud it really is.

Top bar — name + health

The strip's colour dot and name sit at the top. On the right, PEAK and CLIP give a quick health read.

Meters and core controls

The middle row, left to right:

• INPUT meter — the signal arriving from the source, before processing. Your first checkpoint when something's wrong. Surround channels show one bar per speaker.
• GAIN knob (−20…+20 dB) — sets a healthy working level coming in. PAN (−100…+100) places a mono/stereo channel in the stereo field.
• Source + buttons — the hardware source, plus toggles:
  • Φ NORM / Φ INV — flips the signal's polarity (phase). Useful when combining two mics that partly cancel each other.
  • PAD OFF / PAD ON (physical inputs only) — a −20 dB attenuator for hot sources that would otherwise overload.
  • MUTE / SOLO — the same as the strip's M/S, with bigger targets.
• OUTPUT meter — the channel after its processing. Comparing INPUT vs OUTPUT shows what the chain is doing.

A small info card reports the live FORMAT, ROUTING (e.g. Microphone → Main L+R) and BUFFER / latency.

The signal-flow strip

A row of blocks showing the channel's processing in order, each lighting up when active:

IN → GAIN → GATE → EQ → COMP → FX → OUT

This is the actual order audio travels (why it matters). The EQ and FX blocks are clickable — they jump straight to those tabs. A block reads ON, OFF or FLAT so you can see at a glance what's shaping the sound. Below it, a mini EQ thumbnail previews your curve (click to open the full EQ).

Stats & loudness

The bottom row of read-outs:

• PEAK HOLD — the highest level reached (click to reset). Turns red if it hit the ceiling.
• CLIP COUNT — how many times the signal clipped (click to reset). Anything above 0 means pull GAIN or the fader down.
• LATENCY — this channel's processing delay.
• LOUDNESS / LUFS ⭐ — live loudness metering: Momentary, Short-term, Integrated, LRA and True Peak, to broadcast standard (BS.1770). Click any value to reset the integrated reading. (A Premium feature — see Accounts & Premium and Loudness & normalization.)
