The studio has about fifty controls, and many of them are an icon or a short label that only makes sense if you already know audio software: M, S, K, 0.75x, two loop fields in seconds, a click track with three buttons. Settings has six tabs and over twenty options.
The only way to learn what a control does is to press it, and some presses act at once. Extract stems starts a separation, the heart changes Favorites, a click on the waveforms moves the playhead or makes a loop. Someone new to StemDeck has no safe way to find out what is on the screen.
Constraints for a fix:
- It has to work in all ten languages.
- It must not move or resize anything in the studio.
- It has to work with a mouse, the keyboard and a touch screen.
- Exploring must never act on the studio: no extraction, no change to a song.
