<h2>The Editor</h2>
To learn more about the process of mixing, see <a href="@@basic-mixing">Mixing</a>.
</p>
+<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>
+
+<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.
