Session Status, Properties and Indicators in Source-Connect Studio/Facility

When the session is successfully established, the session properties are shown in the send and receive panels.

The send and receive controls are: 

1. Volume slider: allows you to adjust your send volume independently from your system settings. 
2. Volume meter: indicates your send volume in decibels. If the meter moves into the red area, the quality of the audio signal may become distorted and the quality degrade. 
3. Mute button: mutes your input device, the button will change to orange when toggled. 
   1. If the mute button is ON, the button will be RED. 
4. Bitrate and sample-rate indicator. 
   1. If the sample rate is different between connection partners, the sample-rate indicator will be RED. 
5. Input device and device channels: the hardware or virtual device being used to send sound. The device channels are the drivers or channels being used to send sound from your input device. 
6. Output device and device channels: the hardware or virtual device being used to receive sound. The device channels will be mono (single-channel audio), stereo (dual-channel audio), or surround (three or more channels of audio). 
7. Restore/Replace indicators: the indicators will let you know if any packet loss has occurred during the call, and if there are any ongoing restore/replace processes. 
8. Connection Settings: a gear button which allows you to open the Connection Settings panel during a call. You can update, among other things, the number of channels, the sample-rate you are using, buffer, and bitrate. Keep in mind that changing the sample-rate or the number of channels will require you to re-open the application.
