  This is only visible on the toolbar if the Media & MixConsole Windows section is activated.

The MixConsole is divided into the following sections:

   Allows you to set up the visibility and positions of channels in the fader section.

   The fader section is always visible and shows all channels in the same order as in the track list.

Apart from the main sections, you can also access the following sections from within the MixConsole window:

1. Channel overview

   Displays all channels as boxes. If you have more channels than can be displayed in the window, you can use the channel overview to navigate to other channels and select them.

2. Meter bridge

   To select a meter type, open the meter bridge context menu and select either PPM or Wave.
