User Guide

Marbble is a digital audio workstation modelled on Logic Pro. This guide is organised like Logic’s manual: it starts with setting up and recording, then covers editing, the editors, mixing, exporting, project management, and ends with a complete reference of settings and key commands.

Keyboard convention. Marbble runs on Linux, Windows and macOS. In this guide Ctrl means ⌘ (Command) and Alt means ⌥ (Option) on macOS; Shift is Shift everywhere. So “Ctrl+D” is Ctrl+D on Linux and Windows and ⌘D on macOS. A few commands use the Control key on macOS, as Logic does; for those both forms are given, for example “Ctrl+R (Control+R on macOS)”.

Marbble writes shortcuts the way your platform’s menu bar draws them, so a key reads the same in the menu bar, the in-app menus, tooltips and Settings › Key Commands: “Shift+Ctrl+Z” on Linux (GTK puts Shift first and names some keys its own way: BackSpace, Return, Ctrl+Right), “Ctrl+Shift+Z” on Windows and “⇧⌘Z” on macOS. This guide uses the Linux order. Everything follows any keys you reassign in Settings › Key Commands, the menu bar included.
