ProStationAudio Menus: Settings


Interleaved Output Use this menu to toggle interleaved output on/off.

The application uses two modes for storing stereo audio material:
  • Interleaved file
  • Splitted files

While interleaved files are recommended for exporting to other enviroments, splitted files are preferred for further editing/processing inside the application.

Please note that some file formats, due to their structure, force you to use either the interleaved or the splitted mode. Most file formats instead let you freely choose between the two modes.
External MIDI Mixer Use this menu to toggle the external MIDI mixer control on/off.

You need:
  • a MIDI interface for serial ports
  • a MIDI mixer hooked to the serial port through the MIDI interface.

When External MIDI Mixer is checked, you can use the MIDI mixer faders to control the application mixing console. You can use the MIDI mixer both to control levels/pans in realtime or to write automation tracks.
Control MIDI Sequencer Use this menu to have the application control the transport functions of a 3rd party MIDI sequencer software running on the same machine. Control is transparent as the commands for the sequencer are mapped on the application transport buttons, for syncro operations.

You need:
  • Bars&Pipes MIDI software
  • an audio board (the internal audio hardware can't be used with this function)
Frame Rate Use this menu to set the preferred frame rate for the timecode notation.
Nudge Value Use this menu to set the preferred nudge value (the step used when moving objects with the nudge tool).

  • Requester: pops up the timecode requester for numeric entry
