The Arranger consists of two main parts, the Track-pane +and the Arranger canvas. The Track-pane lists all currently visible tracks +and the Arranger canvas contains all Parts of the composition. The +screenshot above shows an empty project. Below is MusE with a song in +progress, turns out it wasn't a very good song, but for our purposes it +is fine. In the below screenshot there are a lot of tracks visible in the +Track-pane, each have an icon which indicate it's type, wave-track, input, +output etcetera, more about that later. In the Arranger canvas a number of +parts are visible, the ones in yellow are in this composition wave files, +the multicolored line are different Parts of a drum track. + +<P> + +<DIV ALIGN="CENTER"><A NAME="fig:Main_Window_with_arrangement"></A><A NAME="179"></A> +<TABLE> +<CAPTION ALIGN="BOTTOM"><STRONG>Figure 2.9:</STRONG> +MusE main window with arrangement</CAPTION> +<TR><TD> +<DIV ALIGN="CENTER"> + +</DIV><IMG + WIDTH="1051" HEIGHT="635" ALIGN="BOTTOM" BORDER="0" + SRC="./main_window_with_arrangement.png" + ALT="Image main_window_with_arrangement"></TD></TR> +</TABLE> +</DIV> + +<P> + +<H2><A NAME="SECTION00322000000000000000"></A> <A NAME="mixer"></A> +<BR> +Mixer +</H2> +Choosing <SPAN CLASS="textbf">View > Mixer A</SPAN> or <SPAN CLASS="textbf">B</SPAN> from the menu in the main +window will bring up the mixer as viewed below. The mixer will open with +all options enabled, showing channel strips for all tracks in the current +setup, depending on how far you have gotten this view may become very large, +at which point it may be a good idea to limit what is viewed in the Mixer. +From the view menu all the different kinds of tracks can be toggled on/off +from the mixer. Some may find it a good idea to use the two mixers A and B +setup with different setup and store this in your song template(s), more +about this in the Song Template section. It can be argued that everything +in MusE is a track analogous to the Unix idiom that everything is a file. +The types of tracks visible in the mixer (and track-pane) are: + +<DIV ALIGN="CENTER"> +r0.5 +<IMG + WIDTH="672" HEIGHT="424" ALIGN="BOTTOM" BORDER="0" + SRC="./mixer.png" + ALT="Image mixer"> + +</DIV> + +<UL> +<LI>Audio output +</LI> +<LI>Audio input +</LI> +<LI>Group track +</LI> +<LI>Aux track +</LI> +<LI>Wave track +</LI> +<LI>Synth track +</LI> +<LI>Midi track +</LI> +</UL> + +<P> +There is also a Midi Track variation called Drum Track, they are +however not distinguishable from Midi Tracks in the Mixer.
