<para>

|
|
The mixer window provides a view of the session that mimics a traditional
|
||
|
|
hardware mixing console. Rather than focusing on the arranging of regions
|
||
|
|
along a timeline, the mixer is designed to allow you to manipulate the
|
||
|
|
signal flow elements of a session - gain control, plugins, bussing and so
|
||
|
|
forth.

||
|

The left area of the mixer contains three small vertical panes which allow
|
||
|
|
various operations to be made on the larger area, which of course represents
|
||
|
|
a mixing console.

|

|

|
The lines that outline the three smaller panes all have a small square near
|
||
|
|
their vertices. This square can be used to resize the four panes that form
|
||
|
|
the mixer window. Dragging each of these squares with the left mouse button
|
||
|
|
will move the border.

<para>
|

|
|
The group list pane provides an interface to create and control the state
|
||
|
|
of the mix groups present on the mixer. Mix groups provide a method of
|
||
|
|
linking faders together, so that a movement on one fader will translate to
|
||
|
|
all the other faders in the group.

A new session will contail one group, called all. This preset group refers
|
||
|
|
to all mixer strips?? <emphasis>what is 'all' doing here?</emphasis> Any
|
||
|
|
new groups you create will be listed in this pane. Left clicking the
|
||
|
|
<guibutton>Mix Groups</guibutton> button will open a window titled
|
||
|
|
<literal>Name for a new mix group</literal>, which contains a dark text area.
|
||
|
|
Enter a name for your new mix group in the text area. Left clicking
|
||
|
|
<guibutton>cancel</guibutton> will close the <literal>Name for a new mix
|
||
|
|
group</literal> window. The group list will be unaffected. Left clicking
|
||
|
|
<guibutton>OK</guibutton> will create a new mix group. The new group will be
|
||
|
|
listed in the group list pane with an empty box next to it's name. All
|
||
|
|
mixer strips will now contain the name of the new group in their
|
||
|
|
<guibutton>group</guibutton> button. Selecting the new group in a mixer
|
||
|
|
strip will assign control of that channel's gain fader to the selected
|
||
|
|
group, but <emphasis>only if the group is active</emphasis>. Left clicking
|
||
|
|
the box next to the group name will activate the group.

At the bottom right of the group list, a square box provides a method for
|
||
|
|
resizing the pane. Holding down the left mouse button while dragging the
|
||
|
|
square vertically will move the lower border of the group list.
