The mixer#
Mixeur#
The mixer contains all of the channels in the project corresponding to visible tracks. There is some extra space reserved for drag-and-dropping plugins or files.
Most of the activities that can be performed in the mixer are also available in the Track inspector.
Canaux#
A channel is part of a track, if the track type has a channel.

Channel for an instrument track#
Channels contain a fader, controls such as mute and solo, a meter, a direct out selector and a strip of insert plugins. These are covered in Inspecteur de piste.
Master Channel#
The master channel, a special channel used to route audio to the output audio device, is pinned on the right side of the mixer.
