Chapter 6: Options
The Options page provides several tabs. Of these, the System
and Devices tabs are where most system configuration settings

you configure mixing, routing, and processing options.

tions for hardware components.
This chapter shows you how to manage the most important
System and Devices settings, and describes the settings avail-
able in other Options screens.

Basics of Editing System Settings
Settings available in the System screen 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 Config option:
1 Put the system in Config mode.
2 Go to the Options page and click the System tab.
3 Click Edit.
4 Change a System Config, Main Bus, Inputs or Bus Configu-
ration option.
5 Click Apply to confirm and apply your new settings.
The Plug-Ins tab is not available in the Standalone
software.
Changing the system configuration will restart the system
software and may interrupt audio.
