<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.
