The Source-Nexus Router application at a first glance
When you first open up Source-Nexus Router, you will see the following application interface. By default, there will only be one 2-channel audio route.
- Audio Route Name: name of the route. This field can be customized using alphanumeric values.
- Channel picker: the number of channels the new route will have.
- Advanced routing settings slider: when the slider is off, the route is just one-to-one (source input channel 1 will go to destination output channel 1, source input channel 2 will go to destination channel 2, etc). When you turn on the slider, you can change this configuration and manually route your channels.
- Expand advanced routing: clicking this button will display the individual channel mapping section of the application.
- Enable/disable changes: clicking this button will prevent you from making any changes to the selected route. You will still be able to re-enter edit mode in case you need to modify anything else.
- Delete audio route: this button will allow you to delete an individual audio route. You will get a confirmation message before the route is deleted.
- Source audio device: the audio device that will be used to pass out the audio to the destination audio device. Turning on advanced routing allows you to select specific channels within the device.
- Destination audio device: the audio device which will receive the audio from a specific source audio device.
- Mute button for the destination audio device.
- Level meter: the level meters for your source and destination audio devices. If the meter moves to the orange or red areas of the meter, you are likely to experience sound distortions and a lower quality of your signal.
- Peak hold: the highest level caught by Source-Nexus Router (applies to both the source and destination devices).
- Clipping indicator: the red clipping indicator will be turned on if there has been any clipping in the audio (applies to both the source and destination devices).
- Fader. The destination audio device has a volume fader that can be used to adjust the volume level. Double click or alt/option+click it to set the fader to 0 dB.
- Navigation bar: in case of multiple audio routes, you will be able to adjust the Source-Nexus Router window size vertically as needed to view the different routes as needed.
- Create an audio route button: this button will allow you to create new audio routes. These will appear under any existing ones and will be named “Route (nbr)” by default.
- Save configuration. This will allow you to save all audio route devices and their configuration.
- Load configuration. This will allow you to load any existing Source-Nexus Router configurations into your application instance.
