PROJECT MODE
If you are working in a studio where the same basic mixer / patch setup remains constant
between projects (for example, you have a sampler connected to inputs 1 / 2 in stereo, a
drum machine to inputs 3-6 as individual mono channels, a sound module / synth to inputs
7 / 8 in stereo, whatever) and this setup is re-used between projects, you will probably want
to use the currently loaded project's settings.
If, however, you work in a studio where the setup constantly changes between projects, you
might find it more convenient to reset to the factory defaults.
After selecting either option, the new Project will be created and you will be taken back to
the MAIN page where you will see the new, empty project ready for recording into.
