**Simple** audio mode is the default, and was the only mode available
up until Nageru 1.4.0. Despite its name, it contains a powerful
audio processing chain; however, in many cases, you won't need to

after the mix. (More on this below.) The mastering section begins
with a **limiter**, basically a compressor with very high ratio.

Because mappings can be tedious to setup, you wouldn't want to set up
a complicated one every time you started Nageru. Therefore, mappings
go all silent.
Then there's the **peak meter** to the left of that. For each bus, unlike
