Project Window

The Project window is the “canvas” where you work on your projects. The Timeline is
where you arrange and edit audio clips.

 Toolbar: Includes tools for common functions. You can customize which tools appear

in the Toolbar.

 Tabs: You can switch between any projects open in the Timeline.
 Transport controls: Control playback and the position of the playhead, and turn

recording on or off. (For more information, see “

Transport Controls

” on page 33.)

 Master volume slider: Adjusts the overall volume when you play the project. The

volume level defaults to 0 dB when you create a project. Adjusting the master
volume slider does not affect export volume.

 Mono Mix button: Click to listen to a temporary mono mix of the project.
 Playhead Position value slider: Displays the current playhead position. You can move

the playhead by clicking the arrows, dragging, or typing a value.

 Selection Length value slider: Displays the length of the current Timeslice in the

Timeline. You can change the Timeslice or selection length by clicking the arrows,
dragging, or typing a value.
