(1) Mixer: At the top, the Mixer shows you at a glance the level and routing settings for all
Sounds of the focused Group, or all Groups in your Project. You can change these settings on
the fly, select or put the focus on any channel, etc. At the far right you can control the settings
for the parent channel — the Group channel if the Mixer displays Sound channels, or the Mas-
ter/Cue channel if the Mixer displays Group channels. See section ↑13.2, The Mixer for a de-
tailed description.
(2) Plug-in Chain: In the middle, the Plug-in Chain lists all Plug-ins loaded in the focused
channel (Sound, Group, or Master). See section ↑13.3, The Plug-in Chain for a detailed de-
scription.
(3) Plug-in Strip: At the bottom, the Plug-in Strip displays the series of Plug-ins loaded in the
focused channel (Sound, Group, or Master). You can directly adjust the parameters of each
Plug-in in its own interface. See section ↑13.4, The Plug-in Strip for a detailed description.
13.2 The Mixer
Sitting in the top part of the Mix view, the Mixer is ideal to quickly see and adjust the level and
routing settings of different channels in one go.
