additions. Add dbhelper.vim key stroke mappings I use for working with docbook source. There are no xsl or css files for customizing the html output so it will look really boring...this will only be temporary. Support for content localization and generation of pdf's is planned. git-svn-id: svn://localhost/ardour2/trunk@1405 d708f5d6-7413-0410-9779-e7cbd77b26cf

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:

<para>
|
|
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.

<para>

<title>Mixer Window</title>
|
|
<para>
|
|
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.
