the plug-in

the emit plug-in: a tour

every key and window on the plug-in, numbered.

put emit on your master bus (or any track you want to send or stream). emit needs you signed in. once signed in, it stays signed in, even offline.

the emit plug-in, open, with its parts numbered 1 to 21
  1. collapse: switch to the small face.
  2. preset: save and recall sets of references.
  3. reference window: the selected reference's waveform, playhead and time. drop a file here to load it.
  4. references 1 to 3: press a key to choose that reference. each row shows its name and whether it's synced.
  5. match: level-matches the reference to your mix. the lamp lights once it has matched.
  6. offset dB: the gain the match applied. click it to type your own.
  7. sync: lines the reference up in time with your session. the lamp lights once it has locked.
  8. reference trim: the reference's level, 0 to -40 dB.
  9. loudness: the reference beside your output: LUFS-I since the last reset, LUFS-S short-term, and true peak. click a scale to zoom it.
  10. reset: clears the readings and starts measuring again.
  11. listen: flips what you hear between out (your mix) and ref (the reference). listeners always hear your session.
  12. output trim: your mix's level, 0 to -40 dB.
  13. emit: opens your studio in the browser.
  14. settings: your account, readout speed, tips and sign out.
  15. output window: what your session has played.
  16. session: the name your listeners see. press edit to change it.
  17. share link: copies the live link and opens the share menu. the send line shows the stream's format.
  18. delay: delays what you hear in the room, so you're in time with a listener on a phone. off until you switch it on.
  19. delay time: how long the delay is. it starts at 70 ms.
  20. stream: goes live. listeners hear your session in a browser, in the emit app or in emit Receiver.
  21. record: records the next play in your DAW and keeps it as a lossless link.
