<p>
In Ardour, you work in two main windows: the <dfn>Editor</dfn> and the
<dfn>Mixer</dfn>.

<p>
To switch between those windows, use the buttons (#4 Mode switch in the upper right),
the shortcut <kbd class="mod2">M</kbd>, or the menu
<kbd class="menu">Window > Editor <em>(or Mixer)</em> > Show</kbd>.
Both windows can be visible at the same time (eg. for a multi-monitor
setup) using <kbd class="menu">Detach</kbd> in the same menu.
