Chapter 6: Options
The Options page provides several tabs. Of these, the System and
Devices tabs are where most system configuration settings and
options are enabled and customized:
• The System tab provides the primary tools by which you
configure mixing, routing, and processing options.
• The Devices tab provides status, diagnostics, and options
for hardware components.
This chapter shows you how to manage the most important Sys-
tem and Devices settings, and describes the settings available in
other Options screens.

System
(System Configuration)
From the System tab you can configure input channels, configure
Mains and Aux/Group busses, reset the system, shut down your
system, lock the system, and get system info.
Basics of Editing System Settings
Settings available in the System tab can only be edited while in
Config mode.
In Config mode, the
Edit button becomes available to let you
change settings. When a System Config setting is changed, the
Apply button becomes available at the right of the screen to let
you confirm and apply changes.
In Show mode, the Edit button is unavailable. This protects these
settings from being changed during a performance (since changes
to these settings can interrupt audio).
To change a system configuration option:
3 Put the system in Config mode.
4 Go to the Options page and click the System tab.
5 Click Edit.
6 Change a System Config, Main Bus, Inputs or Bus Configura-
tion option.
7 Click Apply to confirm and apply your new settings.
8 Return to Show mode when you are finished editing settings.
Changing system settings may restart and/or interrupt audio.
