6.1 Master Mute

Before you start experimenting with the software, you'll want to be sure to know where the

mute button is located. After all, everyone makes mistakes and you wouldn't want to have

to unplug the whole device. Hit the mute button in the top menu-bar to mute all outputs on

the system. This button will always be above any other window, so you won't have to look

far when you need it. The background of your screen will turn red if the master mute is

engaged.

If you're not sure whether you're connected to the Engineer, you can check the status of

your connection at any time in the bottom-left corner of your screen. Don't worry about it

too much though: Should the connection drop for any reason, a notification window will

appear informing you of the problem.

See the grey bar to the right side of your application? This is where minimized windows will

appear. You'll want to make use of this when configuring complex projects where dozens of

windows might clog your workspace with excess information, preventing you to focus on the

job at hand. When you minimize a window it'll appear in the taskbar as an orange button,

which you can click on to restore its window. Use the small blue buttons on the top to rid

your workspace of all windows at once, or to restore them all.

Each of the orange buttons in the routing and settings window opens up a separate window,

allowing you to control the specified feature. These buttons are placed within a routing grid

(marked input routing in the image above), and they allow you to route the input signal

through a number of junctions towards the main routing matrix. Simply press a routing

junction to enable the source audio signal to flow through. The route travelled by your audio

signal will light up in green.

Note that you can also adjust the gain of your signal on each routing junction: Right click

the junction to open up a small gain adjustment dialog. Use the keyboard or the scroll-wheel

on your mouse to make an adjustment. Boosting the signal will be represented by a small

plus within the junction marker, while cutting it will produce a minus.
