Patent ID: 8818537

Claim:
A system for providing a software-based interface with a digital sound editing application, the system comprising: a computer-readable storage medium embodying program code, wherein execution of the program code by a processor implements a crosspoint matrix for digital signal routing, wherein the crosspoint matrix is logically inserted between the digital sound editing application and a sound output device, the crosspoint matrix including: a plurality of configurable inputs adapted to accept one or more input signals from the digital sound editing application running on a host computer; a plurality of configurable outputs connected via signal paths to one or more of the configurable inputs and configured to route signals to audio monitoring equipment; a plurality of signal path intersections, each signal path intersection corresponding to a single associated input-output pair; and a variable gain controller at each signal path intersection; and a graphic user interface allowing for user control of a signal level by adjusting one or more of the variable gain controllers through one or more virtual controls displayed on the graphic user interface.
