Routling Wiki
Everything Routling does, written from the shipping app. Start with the basics, or jump straight to a node type, a workflow, or the reference.
Getting Started#
Install Routling, understand what it does, and build your first working audio route in about five minutes.
What is Routling
Audio routing for Windows on a node canvas - any device or app into any other, with effects in between.
Installation
Requirements, what the installer sets up, updating and uninstalling.
Your First Route
Send a microphone on your audio interface to your speakers.
Interface Tour
The toolbar, the canvas, the right-click menu and the tray.
Concepts#
The model underneath the canvas - nodes, the engine clock, latency, and how your work is saved.
Nodes and Connections
Node cards, wires, gain, selection, groups and undo.
Mixer View and Tray Panel
The controls of your Volume Knobs, Switchers, FX Modules and Duckers, without the wiring - in the window or from the tray.
Primary and Secondary Devices
One clock drives the engine - the built-in clock or your ASIO driver - and every other device follows it.
Latency and Buffers
Buffer size, what the toolbar figure means, and where a route's delay comes from.
Sessions and State
Saving and loading sessions, what opens at startup, and what happens when a device is missing.
Node Types#
Every node you can place on the canvas - the sources, the destinations, and the processors in between.
Node Types Overview
Every node type and where to find it in the right-click menu.
ASIO Channels
The inputs and outputs of your ASIO interface, one mono node per channel.
App Capture and System Audio
Capture one app's audio, or everything your PC plays, with no setup in the app.
Routling I/O
Routling's own Windows audio devices - other apps play into them or record from them.
Network In and Network Out
Stereo audio between Routling on two PCs on the same network.
Virtual ASIO
Your DAW opens Routling Virtual ASIO as its audio device - 16 channels each way, at the engine's buffer.
FX Module
A chain of VST2 and VST3 plugins on a stereo path.
Ducker
Lowers one signal while another is active - music under your voice.
Volume Knob
One level and mute for up to 8 separate paths.
Switcher
Switch between sets of stereo connections with one click.
Latency Probe
Shows how long audio takes between two nodes, and what the time is spent on.
Reference#
Exact values - shortcuts, toolbar controls, every preference, licensing limits and troubleshooting.
Keyboard Shortcuts and Gestures
Every shortcut and mouse gesture, as listed in the app.
Toolbar Reference
The device pill and its menu, buffer size, latency, the view switch and the app menu.
Preferences
Every setting, section by section.
Licensing and Tiers
Free has every feature for two hours per launch and starts empty; Pro removes the limit and opens your sessions.
RoutlingVASIO.toml
The Virtual ASIO driver's config file - the sample rate and buffer size it reports to your DAW.
Troubleshooting
Fixes for silence, crackling, missing devices and streams, and the messages Routling shows.
