Up-to-date Glossary of Terms?

Postby DMorrell » Tue Jun 26, 2018 2:53 am

Is there an official up-to-date glossary of Metro terms available somewhere? I notice I'm having a tough time describing issues in other posts because I don't know what they're actually called. For example....

What does one call a column of knobs, buttons, and sliders in the left-hand section of the mixer window? If this were a physical mixer, I'd call this a "Channel". Or an "Input", because, from a physical mixer's point of view, it's where the audio signal enters. But in Metro, I'm used to the term "Channel" applying to a MIDI channel. And when it's a mixer column tied to MIDI track, the knobs and sliders actually output controller data (from the mixer's POV), so "input" seems incorrect. Is this column in the mixer officially called an "output", even though that's completely counter-intuitive from what a physical mixer does?

:? Maybe I'm overthinking, but there's gotta be some easy way I can make my list of synonyms match up with yours. Argh - it's taken me this long to stop calling the mixer window "instruments". :oops:

Thanks,
-d

I understand if you call it a "mixer channel". It can also be called an Metro output because it determines where Metro's output will go.
