3. The **Alt+M** shortcut. -->
The main function of the _Mixer_ window is to display all the mixer strips for
the various tracks and busses side by side for easy reference. This window is

the various tracks and busses side by side for easy reference and finetuning.
This window is mainly used during the _mixing_ process where you distribute
instruments across the virtual room and process them with effects to stand out
in a mix. It also provides access to plugins and routing features. Please see
the chapters on [understanding

[mixing](en/mixing-sessions/mixing-levels/), and [using
plugins](en/mixing-sessions/using-plugins/) for details.
