Mixer#

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.

Channels#

A channel is part of a track, if the track type has a channel.
