Location

Open Menu → Open Rec Folder and go one level up. You will find overrides.json.example there. To apply custom settings, create a copy of the file without the .example extension. Changes take effect after reloading the plugin. In most DAWs you will also need to restart the DAW itself.

Settings

fps

Rendering frame rate. Default is 60. Can be lowered to improve performance on slower machines. Raising above 60 is not recommended.

cornerRadius

Corner radius of UI elements. Default is 6.0. Also toggled via Menu → Rounded Corners.

silenceThresholdDb

The level below which audio is considered silence. Used by the Trim function in the Recorder. Default is -96.0.

disableExportScreen

Set to 1 to skip the export screen (Normalize, Trim, Snap) after recording.

disablePlayhead

Set to 1 to hide the playhead indicator.

opengl

Set to 1 to enable OpenGL rendering. Not recommended unless you experience performance issues — it may be unstable on some systems, but can fix choppy rendering on others.

softwareRenderer

Windows only. Set to 1 to use GDI instead of Direct2D for rendering. Can resolve various issues with the plugin, such as UI freezes when multiple instances are open.

scMainWaveDim

Dims the main waveform when a sidechain signal is present, so the two don't blend together. Default is 0.3 (30% dimming).

Theme overrides

The Themes section allows overriding individual color values for built-in themes. This is a legacy method — since version 1.2.5, single-file themes are supported. See Themes for the current approach.
