Hardware Recall & Session Notes

Using The Snapshot

Document outboard settings, patching or a microphone setup before ending a session. The Snapshot keeps those references inside the project so you can return to them during a recall.

A starting point

Add your hardware photos, browse them in the album and record useful details in the notes field. Images are embedded in session state; audio passes through unchanged with no added latency.
