+<h2>The Editor</h2>
+
+<p>
+ The <dfn>Editor</dfn> window includes the editor track <dfn>canvas</dfn>
+ where audio and MIDI data can be arranged along a timeline. This is the
+ 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>
+ in a fairly literal way.
+</p>
+<p>
+ 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, both of these windows will be
+ needed at various stages of a session's lifetime.
+</p>
+
+<h2>The Mixer</h2>
+
+<p>
+ The <dfn>Mixer</dfn> window represents signal flow and is the window that will
+ probably be used most when mixing a session. It
+ includes <dfn>channel strips</dfn> for each track and bus in the session.
+ It has a general "vertical" sense to it: signals flow from the top of each
+ channel strip through the processing elements in the strip to reach the
+ output listed at the bottom.
+</p>

- The <dfn>Editor</dfn> window includes the editor track <dfn>canvas</dfn>
- where you can arrange audio and MIDI data along a timeline. This is the
