3.2 Input and Output Panels
The left hand panel of the plug-in features a large input signal meter. This provides 1dB per
LED down to -36dB, and thereafter 3dB per LED. There is a peak hold display by default.
The EXPORT SETTINGS button allows access to a panel for configuration of the encoded
file data (see below for more details).
A window at the base of this panel displays the TOTAL DELAY through the plug-in, and
will indicate the maximum of each individual codec delay. Click in the window to toggle
between milliseconds and samples. This field is immediately updated in the GUI when a new
codec or other setting is selected. Depending on the host behaviour, a new value may not be
available for delay compensation until the plug-in is removed and re-instantiated.
The output panel on the right of the GUI includes a MASTER IN button, used to switch
glitch-free between the monitor output of the plug-in (usually a codec output) and the input
signal. The signal you are MONITORing is indicated by two LEDs at the top of the panel,
designated INPUT (yellow) and CODEC (green).
The listen section of the output panel defaults to the CODEC monitor output, but also
contains an option to listen to the difference between the input and the processed output by
selecting the DIFF button. This is particularly useful for monitoring the audio that is
removed by the encoding process.
The output panel also contains buttons to control the DISPLAY. TYPE switches between the
main FFT display and a Lissajous phase display, and LOG-LIN button switches between
logarithmic and linear frequency displays.
A master RECORD enable will start recording to file for any codec that is ARMed.
