Volume Status Bar

The Volume Status Bar (Figure 1.) allows you to see the following status items at a glance:

• Volume - If the Selected Cue is not playing, it shows the Effective Start Volume*. If the Selected Cue is playing, it will show the current volume level. Volume changes (ie Fades processing or moving the Volume trackbar in the SoundList editor) will show on the Status Bar.
• Mute Status - The speaker icon on the left end of the Volume Status Bar can be clicked to toggle Mute on/off. If Volume Mute is in effect, a Muted icon will appear next to the Volume Status Bar.

You can Show or Hide the Volume Bar via the View menu. And you can scale its size (height) for better visibility from a distance when using a remote control device. Set the Progress Bars Height in the Player Elements menu.

* Effective Start Volume is dependent on several setting. 1) Whether Apply Volume as Master is checked and the current position of the Volume trackbar; 2)the Sound Item's Initial Volume setting; 3) the Sound Item's Max Volume value.
