- The Editor window includes the editor track canvas - where you can arrange audio and MIDI data along a timeline. This is the - window you will be in while editing and arranging a project. 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 time - in a fairly literal way. -

- -

- It is possible to show a single channel strip in the editor window, and - some people find this enough to work on mixing without actually opening - the mixer window. Most of the time though, you will want both of these - windows at various stages of a session's lifetime — sometimes - you'll be focused on editing, sometimes on mixing and possibly some of - the time on both. -
