<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.

||
|

<para>
|

|
|
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
|
||
|

|
||
|
|
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

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.
