Info Bar
The Info Bar is always displayed in all screens, providing visual feedback and access to
options that are important in performance environments.
Refer to the illustration below for all Info Bar descriptions in this section.
Elements within the Info Bar
The Tempo and Operating Mode controls can only be accessed via the Info Bar. All other
controls are also available elsewhere in the application. The Resource Display has no
controls (it is a visual indicator only).
Info Bar Placement
By default, the Info Bar is at the bottom of all screens. However, its placement can be
moved to the top of all screens, by setting the preference at View Menu>Settings>Display
Tab>INFO LOCATION.
Info Bar Elements
The Info Bar contains the five main elements below. All elements are described in greater
detail later in this section.
•
Operating Mode – Displays the active Operating Mode (either EDIT or SAFE). Click
this area to switch modes.
•
Active Snapshot – Displays the Active Snapshot name. If the snapshot has been
modified since it was loaded, the name is displayed in italics. If the Snapshot was
loaded via a Soundcraft Vi Console, the name is “[SOUNDCRAFT CUE].”
Shortcut: Click this area to switch to Snapshots View to load and/or save
Snapshots.
•
Clock Source – Displays the active clock source (MADI, Word Clock, or Internal).
Click this area to select a different clock source from the drop menu. This area
flashes red if the currently selected clock signal is not detected (when digital
audio is not synchronized).
•
Active Tempo – Displays the tempo, in beats per minute (BPM), used by UAD
plug‑ins that are set to use Tempo Sync. Click this area to enter or tap a different
tempo.
•
Resource Meters – Displays resource loads used by UAD plug‑ins. This allows you
to monitor UAD loads as needed, for example when deciding which UAD plug‑ins
to load, based upon how much DSP is available.
