Abstract: A computer-implemented method for manipulating simulated speaker arrangements is provided, including: (1) receiving a portion selection event corresponding to a portion of a simulated speaker arrangement displayed in a speaker arrangement pane of a GUI; (2) displaying a pop-up window, wherein the pop-up window includes an initial value of a property corresponding to the portion; (3) receiving a property adjustment event corresponding to the property; (4) displaying an updated value of the property based on the property adjustment event; (5) adjusting the simulated speaker arrangement based on the property adjustment event; (6) receiving a portion deselection event corresponding to an area of the GUI outside of the pop-up window; and (7) closing the pop-up window in response to the portion deselection event. The selection and/or deselection events may include a mouse-click, a mouse-over-event, or key-strokes. The portion may include an individual speaker, a rigging point, and/or multiple speakers.
