Mixing the Demo Session Tutorial

Now it's time to start mixing audio in Pro Tools LE.
But first, a common question answered for you:
Can I ruin my recording?
When you edit and mix audio in a session, you don't actually change the underlying audio
files. So even with many different sessions based on the same audio files, with different
mixes and arrangements, your audio files remain physically unchanged. You don't lose
your valuable recordings when you change your mix or save a different session, and you
can freely try arrangements and ideas.
The Pro Tools LE Workspace
Pro Tools LE provides two main windows for visual display of your tracks—the Mix
window and the Edit window. We'll start working with the Mix window, and later we'll
work in the Edit window.
The Mix window looks and operates like a hardware mixer with automation. Each track is
represented as a channel strip. Channel strips have controls for volume, panning,
automation, inserts and sends, recording, and more.
