Abstract

See full text

Large numbers of similar-looking or identical physical controls on an audio control surface can make it difficult for operators to rapidly locate desired controls. Highlighting of selected controls focuses the operator's visual attention on controls the operator is manipulating, or has just manipulated and is likely to manipulate again. Controls peripheral to or otherwise related to manipulated controls may also be highlighted. Highlighting methods include the use of control illumination intensity, color, and labeling display text. Visual focusing may include highlighting relationships between channel strips or between individual physical controls, or between the physical controls of a surface and one or more digital audio workstations.
