Rotate Studio
The Rotate Studio wheel rotates the studio around your position at the mixing desk. What
you see and what you hear are defined by your orientation. This is what you experience
when using head tracking, except that Rotate Studio is controlled manually.
Click the 0º button, or Alt+Click on the Rotate Studio wheel, to reset rotation to its default
position.
Head Tracking
Head Tracking is a valuable tool when mixing in a surround environment.
When Head Tracking is on, the virtual room does not move. Instead, it’s you—your headphones—that change
or
ientation. This is how you experience a sound in the three-dimensional world. This interaction with the studio space
is vital in making critical imaging decisions. The wireframe head indicates the orientation of the engineer’s head with
respect to the studio. The head is grayed out when the user’s head is outside the tracking range, or when there is
insufficient ambient light for camera tracking, or when Head Tracking is turned off.
When Head Tracking is off, the soundscape moves with you as you turn your head. This is normal stereo headphone
behavior.
