Reset lename: If you have changed the contents of the lename eld, you can use this button to re-
store the default setting.
Use the same properties for all devices: When this option is selected, all audio input devices will
share the same settings. Changing a setting on one device will apply that setting to all devices. Clicking
this button displays a pop-up menu (Fig. 2.1.4) that offers the following options:
•
Copy this device’s settings to other devices: When this option is selected, the properties for
the current device are applied to all other audio input devices.
•
Leave other devices settings unchanged: When this option is selected, the properties of other
devices are not altered. This option allows you to change an option globally, without affecting
other options.
It typically makes sense to enable this setting, especially if you have an audio device with many in-
puts, but if you need to set different settings for each device, then you can disable it.
Output Device Properties
When an audio output device is selected, its various conguration options will be displayed in the
properties panel (Fig. 2.1.5).
Treat as stereo pair: You can opt to have Tracktion combine two mono audio outputs into a single ste-
reo pair. When disabled, the two channels will appear as two mono devices; when enabled, they will
appear as one stereo device.
Dithering enabled: Dithering can subjectively improve quality when reducing the sample resolution
from Tracktion’s internal 64/32/24-bit format, to the 16-bit format used by some audio devices and stan-
dard CDs.
Left/right reversed: When selected, the left and right channels are swapped. You can use this option
to correct for audio devices with incorrect stereo conguration, or patching mistakes in your studio.
