<title>The Mixer</title>
<para>
The mixer window provides a view of the session that mimics a traditional
hardware mixing console. Rather than focusing on the arranging of regions
along a timeline, the mixer is designed to allow you to manipulate the
signal flow elements of a session - gain control, plugins, bussing and so
forth.
</para>
<para>
The left area of the mixer contains three small vertical panes which allow
various operations to be made on the larger area, which of course represents
a mixing console.
</para>
<para>
The lines that outline the three smaller panes all have a small square near
their vertices. This square can be used to resize the four panes that form
the mixer window. Dragging each of these squares with the left mouse button
will move the border.

<title> Group List </title>
<para>
The group list pane provides an interface to create and control the state
of the mix groups present on the mixer. Mix groups provide a method of
linking faders together, so that a movement on one fader will translate to
all the other faders in the group.
</para>
<para>
A new session will contail one group, called all. This preset group refers
to all mixer strips?? <emphasis>what is 'all' doing here?</emphasis> Any
new groups you create will be listed in this pane. Left clicking the
<guibutton>Mix Groups</guibutton> button will open a window titled
<literal>Name for a new mix group</literal>, which contains a dark text area.
Enter a name for your new mix group in the text area. Left clicking
<guibutton>cancel</guibutton> will close the <literal>Name for a new mix
group</literal> window. The group list will be unaffected. Left clicking
<guibutton>OK</guibutton> will create a new mix group. The new group will be
listed in the group list pane with an empty box next to it's name. All
mixer strips will now contain the name of the new group in their
<guibutton>group</guibutton> button. Selecting the new group in a mixer
strip will assign control of that channel's gain fader to the selected
group, but <emphasis>only if the group is active</emphasis>. Left clicking
the box next to the group name will activate the group.
</para>
<para>
At the bottom right of the group list, a square box provides a method for
resizing the pane. Holding down the left mouse button while dragging the
square vertically will move the lower border of the group list.
