The <dfn>Editor</dfn> window includes the editor track <dfn>canvas</dfn>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
where you can arrange audio and MIDI data along a timeline. This is the
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
window you will be in while editing and arranging a project. The window
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
has a general "horizontal" sense to it: the timeline flows from left to
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
right, the playhead showing the current position in the session moves
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
from left to right — the window really represents <dfn>time</dfn>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
in a fairly literal way.

||
|

It is possible to show a single channel strip in the editor window, and
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
some people find this enough to work on mixing without actually opening
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
the mixer window. Most of the time though, you will want both of these
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
windows at various stages of a session's lifetime — sometimes
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
you'll be focused on editing, sometimes on mixing and possibly some of
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
the time on both.
