Best Practices

  1. Run help (or help <command>) to explore what’s available.

  2. Re-use commands with the history keys instead of re-typing.

  3. Keep the panel at a readable size for long sessions.

  4. If a command fails, read the error message (often in red) for clues.

With a bit of practice, using the Audiocube Terminal will be noticeably faster than navigating the GUI for many everyday tasks. Happy coding!
