<em>Editor</em> window. The <em>Editor</em> window is the most important window in Ardour, as
this is where you arrange track, import and edit media on the timeline, and
control plugin automation for creative effects and mixing.</p><p>Let&rsquo;s take a look at main parts of the <em>Editor</em> window:</p><figure><img src=en/ardour7-editor-window-sections.png alt="Editor window sections"></figure><p>Here they are:</p><ol><li>Editor-specific toolbar</li><li>Timeline</li><li>Tracks and busses</li><li>Project overview</li><li>Editor mixer strip</li><li>Regions, Tracks/Busses, Snapshots, Groups, Ranges, Marks</li></ol><p>Let&rsquo;s overview them quickly.</p><h2 id=editor-specific-toolbar>Editor-specific toolbar</h2><h3 id=edit-modes-and-cursor-modes>Edit Modes and Cursor Modes</h3><figure><img src=en/ardour7-edit-modes-cursor-modes.png alt="Edit Modes"></figure><p>The <em>Edit Modes</em> and <em>Cursor Modes</em> controls define the behavior of the main
canvas and the different functions the cursor can have. There are three edit
modes in the drop-down menu: <em>Slide</em>, <em>Ripple</em>, and <em>Lock</em>. We will discuss them
in the <a href=../../../editing-sessions/>Editing sessions</a> chapter.</p><p>To the right of the <strong>Smart</strong> button are the <em>Cursor Modes</em>:</p><ul><li><em>Smart</em> mode (<strong>Y</strong> shortcut)</li><li><em>Grab</em> mode (<strong>G</strong> shortcut)</li><li><em>Range</em> mode (<strong>R</strong> shortcut)</li><li><em>Cut</em> mode (<strong>C</strong> shortcut)</li><li><em>Stretch</em> mode (<strong>T</strong> shortcut)</li><li><em>Audition</em> mode</li><li><em>Draw</em> mode (<strong>D</strong> shortcut)</li><li><em>Internal Edit</em> mode (<strong>E</strong> shortcut)</li></ul><p>Most of them are discussed in the <a href=../../../editing-sessions/working-with-regions/>Working With
Regions</a> section. The last two
are discussed in the <strong>Using Automation</strong> chapter.</p><p>The <em>Smart</em> mode is actually a combination of <em>Grab</em> mode and <em>Range</em> mode. When
enabled, the mouse behaves as if it is in <em>Range</em> mode in the upper half of a
region, and in <em>Grab</em> mode in the lower half.</p><h3 id=snap-options>Snap Options</h3><figure><img src=en/ardour7-snap-options-and-nudge-controls.png alt=Snap></figure><p>The <em>Snap Options</em> toolbar allows selecting visible grid units that affect
snapping when editing regions and, in case of MIDI regions, their contents.</p><p>Here is a comparison between 1 bar grid, 1/8 note grid and 1/32 note grid:</p><figure><img src=en/ardour7-snapping-1-bar-to-1-32-note.png alt="1-bar grid, 1/8 note and 1/32 note grid"></figure><p>Please see the sections on
<a href=../../../editing-sessions/setting-up-time-signature/>Setting Up Time Signature</a>,
<a href=../../../editing-sessions/using-ranges/>Using Ranges</a> and
<a href=../../../editing-sessions/working-with-regions/>Working With Regions</a> for more
details.</p><h3 id=track-view-and-zoom-options>Track View and Zoom Options</h3><figure><img src=en/ardour7-view-and-zoom-options.png alt="Zoom Options"></figure><p>The far right part of the toolbar has track view and zoom options.</p><p>Track view options allow selecting how many tracks to display at the same time,
and you can also shrink or expand the vertical zoom of selected tracks and
busses.</p><p>Zoom options allow incrementally zooming in and out, as well as zooming out to
show the entire project horizontally.</p><div class="box notices tip"><div class=box-label><i class="fas fa-lightbulb fa-fw"></i> Tip</div><div class=box-content><p>Use the shortcuts <strong>=</strong> (the equal sign on your main keyboard) for zooming, and
<strong>-</strong> (the dash key on your main keyboard) for zooming out.</p></div></div><p>The drop-down menu controls the <em>zoom focus</em>. It defines the focus point of
zooming operations. Try zooming in and out with a different zoom focus each
time. For example, choosing <em>Playhead</em> will cause zoom to behave in relation to
the position of the <em>Playhead</em>. <em>Mouse</em> will take your current mouse position as
the reference, and so on.</p><h2 id=timeline>Timeline</h2><p>Right-click on the names of rulers and you will see a menu with all the possible
rulers at your disposition. You may uncheck rulers that you don&rsquo;t need in order
to save screen space. More information on these operations can be found in the
<a href=../../setting-up-the-timeline/>Setting up the Timeline</a> and <a href=../../../editing-sessions/setting-up-time-signature/>Setting Up Time Signature</a> chapters.</p><figure><img src=en/ardour7-overview-rulers.png alt="Ardour Overview Rulers"></figure><h2 id=tracks-and-busses>Tracks and Busses</h2><p>Just below the rulers is where tracks and busses are displayed. In the example
below, you can see one bus called <em>Master</em> and one track called <em>MyTrack</em>.
<em>MyTrack</em> also contains one region which represents an audio file with a drawing
of its waveform. More information on tracks and busses can be found in the
<a href=../../creating-tracks-and-busses/>Creating a Track or Bus</a> chapter.</p><figure><img src=en/Ardour6_Track.png alt="Ardour Track"></figure><h2 id=project-overview>Project Overview</h2><p>This is a bird&rsquo;s-eye view of the entire session.</p><figure><img src=en/ardour7-overview-panel.png alt="Project overview"></figure><p>There are two major use cases here:</p><ol><li><p>Navigating around the project. Just grab the rectangle and drag it around to
pan over the entire project.</p></li><li><p>Tweaking zoom and position of the visible part of the project. Grab the left
or the right side of the visible rectangle&rsquo;s border and drag it inwards or
outwards to zoom in or out respectively.</p></li></ol><h2 id=editor-mixer>Editor Mixer</h2><p>The Editor Mixer is located at the left of the <em>Editor</em> window. It displays the
mixer strip of the currently selected track or bus. It&rsquo;s mainly used to control
the volume, plugins, and routing for the track or the bus to which it
corresponds. You can toggle to view or hide the <em>Editor Mixer</em> by clicking on
the menu <code>View > Show Editor Mixer</code> (<strong>Shift + E</strong> shortcut). This Mixer is
covered in the <a href=../mixing-sessions/the-mixer-strip/>Using the Mixer Strip</a>
chapter.</p><figure><img src=en/Ardour6_Editor_Mixer.png alt="Editor Mixer" height=50%></figure><h2 id=editor-list>Editor List</h2><p>The space on the right of Ardour&rsquo;s <em>Editor</em> window can have 7 different
functions, depending on which tab is currently selected: <em>Tracks & Busses</em>,
<em>Sources</em>, <em>Regions</em>, <em>Clips</em>, <em>Snapshots</em>, <em>Track & Bus Groups</em>, and <em>Ranges &
Marks</em>.</p><figure><img src=en/ardour7-sources-list.png alt="Sources List"></figure><ul><li><em>Tracks & Busses</em> provides an overview of all tracks and busses in the
project, including the invisible ones. This tab is covered in the
<a href=../../../editing-sessions/arranging-tracks/>Arranging Tracks</a> chapter</li><li><em>Sources</em> lists all files on the disk imported to the session.</li><li><em>Regions</em> is a list of all takes in the session. You can reuse both sources
and regions by dragging them onto the canvas. You&rsquo;ll find more information on
regions in the <a href=../../../editing-sessions/working-with-regions/>Working With
Regions</a> chapter.</li><li><em>Snapshots</em> are versions of the same session saved at particular moments in
time, they are discussed in the <a href=../../../saving-sessions/saving-a-snapshot/>Saving a
Snapshot</a> chapter.</li><li><em>Ranges and Marks</em> is an overview of all markers in the project, with an easy
user interface to edit them.</li></ul><h2 id=continuing>Continuing</h2><p>Next up is the <em>Mixer</em> window where you focus on making instruments stand out in
a song.</p><p>Next: <a href=../mixer-window>MIXER WINDOW</a></p><footer class=footline></footer></article></div></main></div><aside id=sidebar class=default-animation><div id=header-wrapper class=default-animation><div id=header class=default-animation><a id=logo href=/><svg id="Layer_1" width="92" height="80" viewBox="0 0 92 80" enable-background="new 0 0 92 80" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><defs id="defs6"/><path id="path6984" fill="#c61f40" d="M45.586.44-.082 79.558c3.356.0 2.828-2.382 4.417-2.382 1.681.004 1.367 1.19 2.951 1.19.814.0 1.467-.806 1.466-2.804.0-2.664.661-4.017 1.476-4.017s1.476 1.187 1.476 2.372c0 1.492.662 2.678 1.476 2.678.814.0 1.477-2.019 1.477-4.512l-.01-2.857c0-3.447.661-6.24 1.476-6.24s1.477 1.207 1.476 5.112c0 3.104.662 6.198 1.476 6.198s1.478-3.602 1.477-9.382c0-6.68.65-10.996 1.465-10.996s1.477 4.32 1.476 8.582c0 4.977.662 9.878 1.477 9.878s1.477-4.902 1.476-11.701c0-7.302.651-12.609 1.466-12.609.813.0 1.477 5.308 1.476 11.406.0 6.4.661 11.955 1.476 11.955s1.476-5.551 1.476-12.661c0-7.109.651-12.766 1.466-12.766s1.476 5.656 1.476 12.649c0 6.994.662 12.641 1.476 12.641s1.477-5.65 1.477-12.397c0-6.602.65-12.135 1.465-12.135s1.476 5.53 1.476 12.746c0 6.952.663 12.271 1.477 12.271.813.0 1.477-5.318 1.476-11.332.0-5.651.651-10.669 1.465-10.669s1.478 5.027 1.477 11.882c0 6.413.661 11.068 1.476 11.068s1.477-4.657 1.476-9.667c0-4.514.651-8.781 1.466-8.781s1.477 4.265 1.476 10.32c0 5.522.662 9.351 1.476 9.351s1.477-3.825 1.477-7.727c0-3.353.65-6.737 1.465-6.737s1.476 3.382 1.476 8.382c0 4.449.662 7.389 1.477 7.389s1.476-2.586 1.476-5.407c0-2.911.662-5.145 1.476-5.145s1.466 2.501 1.466 6.356c0 3.345.661 5.439 1.476 5.439s1.476-1.732 1.476-3.479c0-1.801.662-3.563 1.477-3.563.813.0 1.465 1.703 1.465 4.459.0 2.317.662 3.668 1.477 3.668s1.477-.941 1.477-2.034c0-1.438.661-2.098 1.476-2.098s1.466.987 1.466 2.814c0 1.44.661 2.192 1.476 2.192 1.539.0 1.331-1.917 2.951-1.929 1.773.0 1.253 2.571 2.941 2.571 1.217.0 2.159-.469 2.952-.474 1.316.0 1.408.928 4.416.928L45.588.44H45.586z" style="fill:#000"/></svg></a></div><div class="searchbox default-animation"><label for=search-by><i class="fas fa-search"></i></label>
