What controls do I have access to in the Studio Controls tab?

1. Channel Configuration: Select the channel configuration from a list of different formats. As you select a particular format, only the studios compatible with the format will be enabled, and others will be disabled. You can select from a wide variety of surround options (5.1, 7.1, 7.1.2, 7.1.4, 7.1.6) and different configurations (SMPTE, Film, ProTools). Please note that you can also modify any of these preset configurations by modifying the speaker output configuration, in which case the Channel Configuration will turn into “Custom”. When this happens, any studio can be selected. 

2. Studio Menu: Select from a list of world-class studios to virtually audition and mix your favorite piece of multichannel/atmos music. With personalized HRTF, you will be virtually transported to the sweet spot of the selected studio. 

3. Clicking on “S” will solo the Lower speakers by default. Click on “Upper” or “Lower” to solo the Upper or lower set of speakers. 

4. Double-clicking the speaker globes will Solo the corresponding speaker. Single click will give the option of muting or soloing the respective speaker. Right click will Mute the speaker. Select the Exclusive or Latch behavior from the advanced settings. 

5. Ambiance: Toggle on/off the Ambience to turn on the reverb for the studio. Adjust the ambience value to control the amount of reflections in the studio as per your taste.  

6. Master gain:  Adjust the slider to control the output master gain value. 

7. Routing: You can adjust the levels of each of the speaker outputs from the Routing tab. Additionally, you can manually enter the gain values by editing the values under each slider. 

By clicking on any of the output speakers (i.e. L, R, C), a dropdown menu will appear, allowing you to select a different output speaker for that particular channel.

Once an output speaker is changed, the channel configuration is shown as “Custom” and is saved with your session.

8. Headphones Tab: You can turn on or off the Headphone EQ in the headphones tab. In addition, you can adjust the amount of headphone EQ to be added by adjusting the slider. We recommend setting it around 60%.
