Chapter 6. The Mix View
For the past three chapters, we have dealt exclusively with the Arrange View, and more particularly with theArranger Timeline Panel that is housed there. And while we are not done with theArrange View (it will be back), it is time to see another of Bitwig Studio's views. In this chapter we will take up the Mix View and its central Mixer Panel. As the purpose of each view is to provide tools organized around a musical task, the clear task of this view ismixing, the necessary art of adjusting and blending your tracks so that they play well together. This happens first at the master track, and then on to the real world, in headphones and on speakers. We will begin by taking stock of the Mixer Panel, examining various functional details along the way. We will also look at places outside of theMix View where mixing functions crop up. Finally, we will see how the master track's output can be easily controlled with theStudio I/O Panel.
