Getting Started with Mbox 236
Main Windows
The Mix, Edit, and Transport windows are the
main Pro Tools work areas. You can show any of
these windows by choosing them from the Win-
dows menu.
Mix Window Displays the Pro Tools mixer, with
its familiar fader strip controls for volume, pan,
solo, mute, and signal routing.
Edit Window Displays tracks in the session along
the Timeline, for editing of audio, MIDI, and au-
tomation data.
Transport Provides standard transport controls
for Play, Stop, Rewind, Fast-Forward, Pause, and
Record. The Transport window can also show
Counter and MIDI Control displays.
Workspace The Workspace browser is a Digi-
Base feature available in Pro Tools 6 and higher.
For more information see the DigiBase Guide.
Rulers
Pro Tools LE provides several different rulers to
select as the timebase for your session.
Timebase Rulers, displayed along the top of the
Edit window, include Bars:Beats, Minutes:Sec-
onds, Samples, Tempo, and Markers. The current
timebase determines the format of the Main
counter, and provides the basis for the Edit win-
dow Grid.
To select a Timebase Ruler:
■ Click the name of the ruler at the top left side
of the Edit window (Bars:Beats, Minutes:Sec-
onds, Samples, Tempo, or Markers).
Press Control+Equals (=) in Windows or
Command+Equals (=) on Macintosh to
switch between the Edit and Mix windows.
