Abstract: A management device has a plurality of tracks (MTR) corresponding to a plurality of terminal devices, commands the terminal devices to start/stop recording in response to recording start/stop instructions (recording command circuitry), and creates, in each of the tracks, a provisional segment identifying a recording time corresponding to the instructions (provisional segment creation circuitry). Each of the terminal devices records sound data in response to the recording start/stop instructions (recording circuitry) and transfers the recorded sound data to the management device (transfer circuitry). The management device 10 acquires the sound data from the individual terminal devices (acquisition circuitry), and then the management device records the acquired sound data in association with the provisional segments of the corresponding tracks and thereby converts the provisional segments into actual segments (conversion circuitry).

Abstract: An information processing method displays a track editing screen to create multitrack content, on a display of an information processor, receives selection of one track among tracks displayed on the track editing screen, displays a management screen to perform signal processing of a selected track, on the track editing screen, and displays a management screen of an external audio device, on the management screen to perform the signal processing.

Abstract: A system includes at least one controller device connectable to a computer where a mixer function is implemented by application software. The controller device includes: a communication interface connectable to the computer; a plurality of faders capable of remote-controlling parameters of channels assigned thereto; a channel shift button; and a bank shift button. The channels assigned to the faders are collectively shifted by one channel in response to an instruction given via the channel shift button, or collectively shifted by the one bank in response to an instruction given via the bank shift button. For each of the controller devices, identification information of the controller device and information of a first channel of all of the assigned channels is stored so that the stored information is used at the time of activation of the software for restoring previous settings stored at the time of last deactivation of the software.

Abstract: By user's pinching operation on a slider 2e of a controller 2, it is judged that the slider 2e has been operated on two points, so that a DAW screen is zoomed in or out in accordance with the speed at which the distance between the two points has changed and the amount by which the distance between the two points has changed. By user's sliding operation on the slider 2e of the controller 2, it is judged that the slider 2e has been operated on one point, so that the function of the DAW is controlled in accordance with the speed at which the slider 2e has moved and the amount by which the slider 2e has moved.
