8. A computer program product comprising:
a non-transitory computer-readable medium with computer-readable instructions encoded thereon, wherein the computer-readable instructions, when processed by an audio interface device instruct the audio interface device to perform a method of generating a plurality of audio mixes by mixing a plurality of audio inputs, the method comprising:
displaying on a monitor in data communication with the audio interface device:
a plurality of output tiles, wherein each output tile of the plurality of output tiles corresponds to a given audio mix of a plurality of audio mixes generated by the audio interface device and is displayed with a distinguishing feature assigned to the given audio mix, and wherein the distinguishing feature remains unchanged when an operator of the audio interface device adjusts a level of at least one of the plurality of audio inputs; and
a plurality of input tiles, wherein each input tile of the plurality of input tiles corresponds to a given audio input of the plurality of audio inputs and includes an interactive graphical fader control of the given audio input; and
when an operator of the processing device selects an output tile corresponding to a selected monitor mix of the plurality of monitor mixes:
highlighting the selected output tile;
redisplaying the plurality of input tiles such that for each input tile of the plurality of input tiles:
the fader control of the input tile is displayed with the distinguishing feature assigned to the selected monitor mix; and
the fader position of the input tile indicates a level currently assigned to the selected monitor mix of the audio input corresponding to the input tile.
