Interface Tour
This tour covers the Advanced console — the full mixing desk. New to audio, or just want the easy, mostly-automated view? See Simple mode, and switch between the two with the Simple / Advanced toggle in the menu bar.
One window, five zones. From top to bottom:
① Menu bar
Five entries, each opening a window:
| Entry | Opens | What for |
|---|---|---|
| Scenes | Scenes / Snapshots | Save and recall complete mixer setups (6 slots, import/export). |
| Workshop | Workshop | Browse and install community presets and packs; manage your installed library (rename / delete / import / export). Per-processor presets are saved and applied straight from each panel's PRESET ▾. |
| Channels | Channel Manager | Add, remove and reorder inputs, outputs and VCA groups. |
| Routing | Routing matrix | The big grid: which inputs feed which outputs. |
| Settings | Settings | Driver mode, buffer size, theme, startup behaviour, About. |
| Account (far right) | Account window | Sign in, manage your license and devices, upgrade to Premium. A PRO badge shows when Premium is active. See Accounts & Premium. |
When a new version is available, a blue ⬆ Update badge appears next to Settings — click it to review and install (Updates).
Between Settings and the account button sits the Simple / Advanced view toggle — flip to the easy, mostly-automated view anytime (see Simple mode). It's the same mixer either way; switching loses nothing.
② Monitor bar
Your "control room" — it decides what you hear, without touching the mix anyone else receives.
- MONITOR dropdown — pick which bus you're listening to (Main L+R, any physical or virtual output).
- ● CLR SOLO — lights up when any channel is soloed anywhere; click to clear all solos at once.
- VOL fader + readout — your listening volume only. Double-click resets it.
- DIM — instantly drops monitoring by −20 dB (toggle). For when someone walks in mid-session.
- 🎬 Scene chip — shows the active scene's name, if one is loaded.
- OUT — the device the Main bus is playing to (configure it in Main L+R → SETUP).
- ▶ / ⏹ + status dot — start/stop the audio engine. Green dot = running. A ⚠ appears here if the engine hits an error — hover it for details.
③ The mixer
The heart of the app, in three sections from left to right:
Input channel strips
One strip per source. Top to bottom:
- SELECT — opens this channel in the config screen (④).
- M / S — mute and solo.
- Name + icon, with a colour tag you can customise.
- Type badge —
PHYS(mic/line-in/virtual cable),LOOP(whole device),APP(single application). More in Input Channels. - EQ / FX / SP — badges for the active specific processors.
- Fader + dB scale + VU meter — level control and live metering. Surround sources show one meter bar per speaker channel.
- dB readout — the fader's exact position.
Fader gestures: drag to set; scroll the mouse wheel for fine moves; double-click to reset to 0 dB. These gestures work on virtually every slider and knob in the app — and clicking a value lets you type one in.
VCA groups
Group faders. A VCA strip moves the level of every channel assigned to it — proportionally, without rerouting any audio. Classic use: one "GAME" fader for five game-related channels.
Output buses
Same strip anatomy as inputs, but each represents a destination: the Main L+R master, your headphones, or a virtual output feeding OBS or Discord. Each bus carries its own independent mix.
④ Config screen
Press SELECT on any strip and this area shows everything about it. Two parts:
Left panel — dynamics. Always visible for the selected strip:
- For an input channel: GATE and COMP (noise gate and compressor), each with presets, RESET and an ON switch.
- For an output bus: LIMITER and DELAY.
Right panel — tabs. Depending on what's selected:
| Selected | Tabs |
|---|---|
| Input channel | HOME · EQ · SENDS · FX · SPATIAL · SETUP |
| Output bus | HOME · EQ · SENDS · SETUP |
| VCA group | HOME · MBR (members) · SETUP |
Quick orientation:
- HOME — the channel at a glance: input/output meters, GAIN and PAN knobs, phase invert, pad, a clickable signal-flow strip showing which processors are active, and PEAK/CLIP counters.
- EQ — parametric equalizer with a draggable curve, up to 12 bands.
- SENDS — fine level control of this strip's feeds to buses.
- FX — the insert effects rack (reverb, delay, de-esser, noise suppressor…).
- SPATIAL — stereo width, balance, Haas delay and binaural HRTF positioning.
- SETUP — the source/destination device, channel mode, calibration and housekeeping.
⑤ Status bar
One line of engine vitals, updated every second:
Running | 48000 Hz | Latency: 10.0 ms | CPU: 2.3% | Ovr: 0 | Und: 0- Latency — buffer-induced delay, set by the buffer size in Settings → Audio.
- CPU — how much processing the DSP engine is using.
- Ovr / Und — overruns and underruns: moments where audio data arrived too fast or too late. Occasional ticks are harmless; steadily climbing numbers mean crackles — see Crackling and latency in Troubleshooting.
