In live music performances each musician may prefer to receive a customised signal comprising one or more signals including their own output and/or other musicians' output. This is achievable by providing a mixing console for receiving and processing input signals comprising receiving means for receiving at least two input signals and operating so as to process (205, 255) them simultaneously in different ways to create at least three first and at least three second output signals, further processing (210, 215, 260, 265) at least two of the at least three first and at least three second output signals to create tertiary output signals each tertiary output signal having characteristics, other than its gain, different from one another, combining and processing (280) at least two tertiary output signals to create a first auxiliary output mix, and combining and processing (290) at least two other tertiary output signals to create a second auxiliary output mix, and combining and processing (300) a first and second output signal to create a master output mix.

[Problem] To improve the operability of a sound level operation performed with respect to a plurality of audio devices. [Solution] A control screen 25 is displayed, said control screen 25 comprising: channel faders 26-1 to 26-4 which individually accept sound volume level operations for wireless network compliant speakers 1-1 to 1-4; and a master fader 27 which accepts a sound volume level operation collectively for the wireless network compliant speakers 1-1 to 1-4. In the master fader 27, a minimum value end portion 271 is displayed in a position indicating a scale value that is the same as the minimum value from among the scale values indicated by each of the channel faders 26-1 to 26-4, and a maximum value end portion 272 is displayed in a position indicating the scale value that is the same as the maximum value from among said scale values. The master fader 27 thus has a width W corresponding to the minimum value and the maximum value of said scale values.

A method for synchronously accessing audio data and an audio playback system using the same are provided. The method comprises: providing a first device and a second device; providing an audio common memory in the second device; transmitting an audio data from the first device to the second device when the second device performs an audio playback; writing the audio common memory by the first device and reading the audio common memory by the second device when the first device transmits the audio data to the second device; and performing an interpolation operation by the second device when a difference between a read address value of the second device and a write address value of the first device is different from a predetermined difference.

A display apparatus that includes circuitry that displays a user interface screen including device information that identifies a plurality of output device groups and a plurality of input device groups to control connection between one of the output device groups and one of the input device groups; and receives an input that designates a combination of said one of the output device groups and said one of the input device groups, the user interface screen includes a matrix comprising a plurality of cells in a row direction and a column direction, the input designates the combination by designating one of grouped cells corresponding to the combination of said one of the output device groups and said one of the input device groups in the matrix, and the grouped cells are grouped such that the input designates the combination as a group.

A method for processing music audio data, including providing input audio data representing a first piece of music comprising a mixture of musical timbres. The method also includes decomposing the input audio data to generate at least first-timbre decomposed data representing a first timbre selected from the musical timbres of the first piece of music, and second-timbre decomposed data representing a second timbre selected from the musical timbres of the first piece of music. The method also includes applying a transport control to obtain transport controlled first-timbre decomposed data. The method also includes recombining audio data obtained from the transport controlled first-timbre decomposed data with audio data obtained from the second-timbre decomposed data to obtain recombined audio data.
