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 Audio Outputs, each output 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.
