SOFTWARE: Universal Control, Capture, and Studio One Artist 7
Capture 7.3
Key Commands
Many operations in Capture have associated key commands (keyboard
shortcuts) that can be used instead of navigating menus with the mouse.
Several of these key commands use modifier keys, some of which
differ depending on the operating system (Windows or Mac OS X).
Key commands with modifier keys are shown with the Windows modifier
key first, as follows: [Win modifier key]/[Mac modifier key]+[key].
For example, [Ctrl]/[Cmd]+[C] means "press [Ctrl]+C
in Windows, or press [Cmd]+C in Mac OS X. "
Where there is no difference between the Windows and Mac version of a
key command, only one key command will be displayed; for example: [F3].
Menu Functions
Many functions can be reached via hierarchical menus.
Where menu navigation is referenced, it will appear
as follows: Menu/Menu Entry/.../Function.
Non-Destructive Editing and Undo/Redo
Almost every user action in Capture can be undone and
redone. There is no limit to how far back actions can be undone
and how far forward undone actions can be redone.
Because of this, feel free to explore without worrying
you will permanently alter anything. In fact, just pressing
buttons might be the quickest way to learn.
High Quality Audio
To match your StudioLive's 32-bit floating-point DSP, Capture
features a 32-bit floating-point audio engine. An audio engine is the
"number cruncher" that does the math required to record and play
back digital audio. To put it simply, Capture will process your audio
as accurately as current technology allows and maintains the highest
sound quality possible. All you have to do is make great music!

7.3.2 Start Page

When Capture is launched, by default you will be taken to the Start Page.
Create and Open Session
At the upper left of the Start Page are two buttons: Create Session and
Open Session. A Session is a document in which you can record and edit
audio. Click on the Create Session button to create a new Session or click
on the Open Session button to browse for and open an existing Session.
Recent Files
To the right of the Start Page menu section, the Recent Files list includes
links to the most recently opened documents. Click on any of these links
to quickly open the Session.
