When Ardour starts without a session, there is just a single window visible
|
||
|
|
which we call the editor. However, the program has many more windows that
|
||
|
|
can be displayed for various purposes:

All Ardour windows have their WMCLASS property set to 'ardour', so that you
|
||
|
|
can configure your window manager to handle them in a certain way if you
|
||
|
|
wish to.

This window will be displayed automatically whenever a Session is loaded,
|
||
|
|
and provides a representation of the Session that is modelled on a mixing
|
||
|
|
console. Each track and bus has its own Mixer Strip, and there are also
|
||
|
|
various lists for things like Mix Groups.

A more precise way to think about the difference between the editor and the
|
||
|
|
mixer is that the editor is primarily for controlling the time flow of the
|
||
|
|
Session, whereas the mixer is primarily for controlling the signal flow.

This optional window provides a single point of control for configuring all
|

|
|
I/O and processing for every track and bus. It doesn't provide anything not
|
||
|
|
offered by other windows, but it does group several things together in one
|
||
|
|
place. You may prefer to use or not use this window.
