Chapter 38 Working in the Environment 957
Channel Strip Objects
The Environment’s channel strip object (see “ Channel Strip Types ” on page 590) is the
building block of the Environment’s Mixer layer, the Mixer window, and the Arrange
channel strips.
The audio and (software) instrument tracks you see in the Arrange window are actually
routed to channel strip objects on the Environment Mixer layer.
The Mixer channel strips and Arrange channel strips are simply remote controls for the
underlying channel strip objects in the Environment Mixer layer. Their inclusion in these
other windows makes your workflow faster and easier.
As mentioned near the beginning of this chapter, the Arrange channel strips are cut
down versions of the corresponding channel strip objects in the Environment. The
channel strips shown in the Mixer window are more configurable, but the only place
you can access all channel strip options is the Environment Mixer layer.
