In order to use XStudio, the application needs to know about the station(s) logs which you will be using for playback, the location of the audio files to be played, and which available audio channel (audio output) will be associated with each displayed playback deck, among other things. In the preferences area, you define stations, their call letters and location of the logs. The path to the audio files is defined, as are the audio channel-to-deck mappings. You can also define cart categories (which contain cart masks) that can be used to "filter" the audio inventory information and apply specific color schemes for each type of audio on the log display.
There are a number of preference settings that enable or disable certain features within XStudio and other settings that affect the behavior of XStudio at run-time.
When changes are made and "applied" (saved), XStudio automatically updates its behavior to match the new settings, with just a few exceptions - notably, changes to the database location and audio server TCP/IP port settings.
This section provides details on each of the available preference settings, organized as they are displayed.
