Working in the Mixer

The channel strips in the Mixer make it easy to see the settings for all the tracks, busses,
and outputs in your project at once, and to adjust those settings relative to each other
as you create the overall mix.

In the Mixer, the channel strips appear in order corresponding to their order in the
Timeline. Top-to-bottom order in the Timeline corresponds to left-to-right order in the
Mixer. You can reorder tracks in the Mixer, and have the new order reflected in the
Timeline. Changes you make to controls such as volume and pan also show up in the
track controls when you open the project in the Timeline.
