Main Windows

 

The Mix, Edit, and Transport windows are the

page 55). You can show (or hide) any of these 
windows by choosing show (or hide) commands 
in the Windows menu.

 

Mix Window 

 

Displays the Pro Tools mixer. 

When you create new tracks, this window will 
show each of those tracks with its familiar fader 
strip controls for track level, pan, solo, mute, 
and signal routing.

 

Edit Window 

 

Displays tracks, with audio wave-

forms, MIDI notes, and automation data along 
the session’s Timeline (see “Timebase Rulers” on 
page 55). You will work in the Edit window to 
edit audio, MIDI, and automation data.

 

Transport 

 

Provides on-screen access to standard 

transport controls for Play, Stop, Rewind, Fast-
Forward, Pause, and Record. The Transport win-
dow can also show Counter and MIDI Control 
displays.
