Chapter 4: Pro Tools Windows
Pro Tools provides two complementary ways of
viewing a session: the Mix window and the Edit
window. Pro Tools also lets you control the
transport and transport-related functions from
the Transport window.
For information on the main elements of the
Mix window and Edit window, see the page ref-
erences provided in Figure 3 on page 22, and
Figure 4 on page 23.
The Mix Window
In the Mix window, tracks appear as mixer strips
(or channel strips), with controls for inserts,
sends, input and output assignments, volume,
panning, record enable, automation mode, and
solo/mute. The following section explains each
of these track controls.
To display the Pro Tools comments, inserts,
sends, and Automatic Delay Compensation, se-
lect Display > Mix Window Shows > All. You can
choose to display all of these items, or some of
them.
The Edit Window
The Edit window provides a timeline display of
audio, as well as MIDI data and mixer automa-
tion for recording, editing and arranging tracks.
As in the Mix window, each track has controls
for record enable, solo, mute and automation
mode.
Systems with Pro Tools AVoption|V10 installed
also provide a timeline display of the movie
track.
To display the input/output controls, inserts,
sends, and comments in the Edit window, select
Display > Edit Window Shows > All. You can
choose to display all of these items, or some of
them.
