5.1.1 red dot and green play symbol by the count in, what are they?

hi y’all, can someone please explain exactly what the red dot with the option to put a 1 in and the green play symbol do next to the count in option? i’m running 5.1.1, if someone can write or point me in the direction of a video i’d appreciate it. i’ve tried changing them but it really doesnt seem to be making any difference ? many thanks

Understanding the Symbols on Singular Sound Aeros

Red Dot Symbol

  • Function: The red dot indicates the recording mode.
  • Meaning: If the red dot is enabled with a “1,” it means the count-in will only occur when recording the very first track. If you want a count-in for subsequent recordings, you need to toggle this symbol.

Green Play Symbol

  • Function: The green triangle represents playback mode.
  • Meaning: When this symbol is active, it indicates that the count-in feature is enabled for playback. This allows you to hear a count-in before the track starts playing.

Using Count-In

  • Count-In Setting: The count-in value can be set to different numbers (e.g., 2, 3, 4) to determine how many beats will be counted before the track starts.
  • Important Note: For the count-in to work during recording, both the red dot and green triangle must be enabled. If you only want a count-in for playback, the green triangle is sufficient.

By understanding these symbols, you can effectively manage your recording and playback settings on the Aeros.

Don’t know if this link will shed more light on the answer to your question but if it doesn’t, it might be best to reach out to Support, support@singularsound.com for help.
