Learning Audion's controls

    Audion has a simple set of controls (buttons, displays, etc.) used to manage your audio.

About "faces"

    Audion's main look can be customized in a wide variety of ways using files called "faces". Each face, short for faceplate, is an entirely new look and feel for Audion's control window. The controls and buttons you see below should be the easily recognizable no matter what face you end up choosing.

    Tip: You can choose a face that fits you.
