Preferences
Preferences (⌘,) are machine-level — camera and audio devices, console IP addresses, ports,
output folders. They stay on the Mac you set them on.
Anything specific to this show — show name, cue mappings, session type names, show timing, note
colours, the show team — lives in Project Settings (⌘⌥,) and travels with the
.srshow file.
The sidebar has a Search settings field: type a word (pin, bitrate, sACN) and it filters the
tabs for you.

Audio route ID test
In Audio under output routing, each output bus row has an ID button: it plays a
2-second 1 kHz tone on that bus only, then speaks the bus name, with the meter live throughout — so
you can confirm the route by ear and by eye. A blank bus name is announced as Output 1.
Hold the Option (⌥) key while launching to reset preferences to first-run without opening the app — the recovery path if a saved setting ever stops the app from starting. The same reset lives in General.
