You’re now looking at the Home screen. This screen is so important that an entire
chapter—Chapter 8, starting on Page 115—is devoted to it. For now, we’ll just point out
a few items of interest. They’re labeled in the illustration above.
•
Time counters
—The time counters show your current location in the project. You can
move to a new location by dialing in a new time in the counters, as described on
Page 123.
•
Meters
—The meters show you important level information during recording and
playback. If TR Mix above F3 isn’t highlighted, press F3 (TR Mix). The meters are
now showing you the level of each of the project’s tracks.
•
Playlist
—The playlist shows the data on all of the project’s tracks. Each chunk of
data you see is called a “phrase,” and is shown as a rectangle. As the project plays,
the data moves from right to left. (We’ll explain tracks, phrases and more on
Page 84.)
•
Now line
—The now line is a visual representation of the time location shown in the
counters. It shows you where in the project you are right now. When data in the
playlist crosses the now line, you hear it.
