Real-time audio signal topology visualization

A method of mixing a plurality of audio inputs to create an audio composition, the method comprising:

• enabling a user of a digital audio workstation application to:
• route a subset of the plurality of audio inputs to a submix;
• map the submix to a channel of a mixer, wherein controls of the channel of the mixer enable the user to adjust the submix;
• and
• on a graphical user interface of the digital audio workstation application, displaying in real-time a graph representation of a signal routing of the audio composition, wherein the graph representation includes a node representing a submix that is mapped to a channel of a mixer.

A computer program product comprising:

• a non-transitory computer-readable medium with computer program instructions encoded thereon, wherein the computer program instructions, when processed by a computer system instruct the computer system to provide a user interface for visualizing audio signal routing for an audio composition, the user interface comprising:
• within a graphical user interface of a digital audio workstation application displaying a node graph representing an audio signal routing of the audio composition, wherein:
• the node graph includes a first node representing a first independent submix;
• the first independent submix is mapped to a first channel of a mixer that enables the user to adjust the first independent submix;
• and
• the node graph is updated in real-time when the audio signal routing of the audio composition is changed.

A system comprising:

• a memory for storing computer-readable instructions;
• and
• a processor connected to the memory, wherein the processor, when executing the computer-readable instructions, causes the system to display a user interface for visualizing audio signal routing for an audio composition, the user interface comprising:
• within a graphical user interface of a digital audio workstation application displaying a node graph representing an audio signal routing of the audio composition, wherein:
• the node graph includes a first node representing a first independent submix;
• the first independent submix is mapped to a first channel of a mixer that enables the user to adjust the first independent submix;
• and
• the node graph is updated in real-time when the audio signal routing of the audio composition is changed.
