TrackStudio recipe · Music and calls

The Media Mac Trackpad Layout

Media is built for the days when the trackpad is a transport control. Two-finger tap plays or pauses, two-finger swipes move between tracks, and three-finger tap mutes without hunting for a key.

Who it is for

Is this your layout?

Use Media if you listen while you work, take calls at the desk, or want the bottom edge to scrub a timeline without leaving the app in front.

What to change

Make it yours.

If you take a lot of calls, keep Mute on the top-right corner as a second, larger target. If you edit video, change the bottom edge to a media scrub for the app you use.

Questions

Before you apply it.

What does the bottom edge do?

It scrubs media. The exact behavior depends on the player; the on-screen display and haptics confirm the change.

Can I use it with podcasts?

Yes. Play/pause, previous, and next use the system media controls, so they work with most podcast players.

Does it mute the microphone?

No. The Mute action mutes the system audio output, not the microphone. Use your call app for microphone mute.
