Mixer Views. With our various views in the Mixer we can go and choose to see the same things. Again, the advantage to doing this is to be able to see everything side by side and not really have to worry about trying to see Waveforms. So, on an HD Rig we get our Delay Compensation, so this is telling me that I've got some Plug-ins on this. You can see there are a few Plug-ins and what the total delay that is on this particular Track. This is an option under here to choose to enable or disable Delay Compensation, again only on HD. And then our same type of Views of being able to show our various Realtime Properties. The thing that I can do with these settings in both the Edit and Mix Windows, if I've got a lot of different Views and I want to disable one of them I can Option-click on these and those will actually go away so I can quickly get rid of what I don't want to see. So, let me scroll over to the right here. We can see our Instrument Track and our various Parameters here. At the top we're seeing our Pre-Amps, which really doesn't make much sense since we don't have one connected, so I'm going to choose not to see my Mike-Pres, and I really don't need to see Delay Compensation either, so I'm going to disable that. So, now I'm down to a setting that makes a little more sense. I can change my Mix Window View from Narrow to Wide by choosing Command-Option and then hitting the M key. We can see that under the View Menu; Narrow Mix View. I can also change my Meters from Wide to our Fat Meters. By default anything that we choose for our New Sessions will go to Fat Meters now and just a little wider display and that also is Fat Display inside our Edit Window. If I want to pull up a Channel Strip I can do that by clicking here and this gives me a little Floating Channel Strip. If I click on Other Channel Strips you can see this automatically updates. If I want to keep multiple Channel Strips up at the same time all I need to do is hold down Shift and that will pull up each of these Channel Strips. A common mistake I've seen people do with Pro Tools 8 since they've moved this up here, used to be a little Icon, they moved this here, is people clicking here and then clicking here and then trying to get our Outputs, and you can see that when I click here I actually get a drop-down on my Interface, but as you just saw this actually pulls up the Channel Strips, so I really want to click on the number to choose what Output I'm going to, and I can do the same for my Input, so I don't really need to click on this little drop-down, so that may be slightly confusing but it cleans up the Interface a little bit rather than putting the button or an Icon down at the bottom. So, those are some of our various Mixer Views, and all of this can be done from the View Menu as well.
