Main Pro Tools Windows
Pro Tools software provides a host of windows you can use to perform a
variety of tasks and functions. The three primary windows that you will need
to be familiar with to begin working with Pro Tools are the Edit window, the
Mix window, and the Transport window. Pro Tools also includes two
additional types of main windows: the MIDI Editor window and the Score
Editor window.
Edit Window
The Edit window provides a timeline display of audio, MIDI data, video,
and mixer automation for recording, editing, and arranging tracks. It displays
waveforms for the audio in your session and is the main window that you
will use to work directly with audio, MIDI, and video files in Pro Tools.
Each Audio and MIDI track displayed in the Edit window has controls for
Record Enable, Solo, Mute, and Automation Mode.
