Icons are supposed to be mostly self-explanatory. However, some of MIR Pro 3D’s concepts are not so easy to convey in a rather restricted area. Many of these buttons consist of an Instrument icon and the stylized representation of a cardioid microphone. They are of course equipped with pop-up hints. Nevertheless, here’s a list with explanations.
Venue Map controls
 |
3D Controls | Opens a pop-up message with 3D navigation commands for the Venue. |
 |
HotSpots | Toggles highlighting of the Venue’s HotSpots. |
 |
Grid | A 1x1 m grid overlay to facilitate setting distances on the stage. |
 |
Titles | Display the names of all Instruments – crowded stages might look better without them. |
 |
Follow | If activated, whenever you select an Instrument in the right-hand Instrument list, the Venue view focusses on that Instrument. Will not work if the Instrument was already selected. |
Instrument panel
 |
Find in Venue | Focusses on the selected Instrument. Makes most sense when “Follow” is inactive. |
 |
Set Natural Volume | Sets the Instrument’s volume to that defined in its Instrument Profile. If the volume is changed, the button turns dark again. |
 |
Aim at Main Mic | When activated, the instrument will automatically change direction to align with the position of the Main Microphone. Original direction information is kept and retrieved at deactivation. |
 |
Directivity Profile | Enables / disables the Directivity Profile for the dry signal. Off by default. |
 |
Air Absorption Filter | Takes into account the influence of air absorption on the instrument. |  |
Distance Dependent Volume Scaling | Takes into account the influence of distance on the instrument. |  |
Consider Mic Offset | If Volume Scaling is on, this option can also be activated. |
