Pro Tools Mixing: Mix & Edit Windows

Video Transcript

"There's a couple of different views within the mix and edit windows. Within the edit window, you can turn off basically any of these rows of views right here. The first one is the comments. The comments are basically, you can just click on it, and you can type whatever you want. But if you want to turn it off, you're going to go over here and just turn it off, you can turn off the comments, you can turn off the IO, which is the input/output view, you can also turn off the inserts, turn off the sends, you can turn on the mic pre-amps, turn them off, and you can also turn off the track color, basically you want just the bass of the track. Now going into the mix window, you're going to see- it shows the whole channel strip. But what you can also do, is take this, and display a narrow mix window. So you have a lot, a lot of tracks, you can shrink it to half the size, so you can see the whole thing, kind of just in one screen set. This is very useful as far as, like when you're using HD and stuff, there's a lot of tracks a lot of times, when you're using this, because the ability to use two hundred tracks, or unlimited tracks, people like to abuse it, and use as many as they can. So use them."
