Song Settings

Settings window

In the Song Settings window, reached via the Song menu's Settings option, you can change mixer and samplerate settings.

The Mixer section's Enable button enables/disables the mixer. Disabling the mixer can be useful if you want to play a single audio file without any processing.

The Noise Shaping button determines whether or not to apply noise shaping to the dither signal. This setting is used for both the output signal to the audio out device and the signal being recorded when Record Master is active.

Outputs (Pro Plus edition only) determines the number of audio outputs. This is always an even number, the minimum value is two (stereo), the maximum value is 64. If the value is greater than two all Group and Effect Return sections will have an Output Selector. Note that the Outputs value can exceed the number of outputs the Audio Device actually has. Any mixer sections using these non-existing outputs will not be heard.

The Sample Rate section specifies the sample rate to be used for audio recording/playback. Usually the default value (44.1 kHz) will be used, as this is the value used on CDs.

Clicking the Store as default button stores the current song settings as default. They will be loaded whenever a new song is created.
The default settings are stored in a song file named "Default.hdr", which is in the folder where MultitrackStudio has been installed. If you want to add more things to the default song than just the settings you can simply save your song as "C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Application Data\MtStudio\Default.hdr" (the full path may be a bit different on your system). You can, for example, load a Reverb effect in an Effect Return section by default.
