- Switching between the Editor and the Mixer windows is done :
+ The Editor, Mixer, Recorder and Clip Launcher share the same toolbar
+ (the top of the window). The sections displayed in this toolbar can
+ be customized to the user's workflow, by checking options in <kbd
+ class="menu">Preferences > Appearance > Toolbar</kbd>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+ Switching between these 4 different modes is done:
</p>
<ul>
- <li>with the <a href="/ardours-interface/status-indicators/">Mode Selector buttons</a> in the upper right</li>
- <li>with the <kbd class="mod2">M</kbd> shortcut</li>
- <li>with the menu <kbd class="menu">Window > Editor <em>(or Mixer)</em> > Show</kbd>.</li>
+ <li>with the <a href="@@other-toolbar-items#mode_selector">Mode Selector
+ buttons</a> in the upper right</li>
+ <li>with the menu <kbd class="menu">Window > Editor <em>(or Mixer / Recorder / Cue Grid)</em>
+ > Show</kbd>.</li>
</ul>
<p>
- Both windows can be visible at the same time (eg. for a multi-monitor
- setup) using <kbd class="menu">Window > Editor <em>(or Mixer)</em> > Detach</kbd> option in the same submenu.
+ Additionnaly, the <kbd class="mod2">M</kbd> shortcut</li> allows swithing
+ between the Editor and Mixer.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+ Multiple windows can be visible at the same time (e.g. for a multi-monitor
+ setup) using <kbd class="menu">Window > Editor <em>(or Mixer / Recorder / Cue Grid)</em>
+ > Detach</kbd> option in the same submenu.

<h2>The Editor</h2>
window where editing and arranging a project is done. The window
has a general "horizontal" sense to it: the timeline flows from left to
right, the playhead showing the current position in the session moves
- from left to right — the window really represents <dfn>time</dfn>
+ from left to right—the window really represents <dfn>time</dfn>

+
+<h2>The Recorder</h2>
+
+<p>
+ The <dfn>Recorder</dfn> window is a very specialized view that provides
+ a compact view of all track's record and monitor status, and a simplified
+ timeline that keeps everything in view at once. Most of the information
+ that is shown in this mode is already available in Mixer or Editor mode,
+ but the Recorder aims at having everything in sight and under control
+ while tracking a performance.
+</p>
+<p>
+ The Recorder is covered in great detail in <a href="@@recorder">its own
+ page</a>.
</p>
+<h2>The Cue Grid</h2>
-{% children %}
+<p>
+ The <dfn>Cue Grid</dfn> window, unlike the rest of Ardour, allows for
+ a non-linear workflow. It is a clip launcher, that allows to chain and
+ combine various loops and samples, and program events.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+ Instead of anchoring these samples or loops on a timeline, the Cue Grid
+ gives them instruction on when they are triggered, how they are played,
+ what happens at the end of the clip, etc…
+</p>
+
+<p>
+ The <a href="@@cue">Cue</a> section of this manual describes this worfkow.
