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

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

<title> Group List </title>
|
|
<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.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
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.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
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.
