Home Screen - Tascam Mixcast 4 Reference Manual

Home Screen

When the unit is turned on, the Home Screen appears on the touchscreen as shown below.
As a rule, touchscreen operations are either touching an icon with a finger (hereafter, "tap") or moving left/right on the screen (hereafter, "swipe"). (If the
response to fingers is poor, operation using a stylus designed for smartphones and tablets is also possible.)
This screen allows input signal levels to be monitored and shows the operation status of the unit. In addition, various function settings can be accessed by
tapping the Menu icon on the screen.
