Project Window

From Audacity Manual

Jump to: navigation, search
The Project Window is Audacity's interface between the user and the sound. It contains the visual representation of the sound and the tools that you will use to work with the sound. Each Project Window shows one Audacity Project. On Windows there is an absolute maximum limit of about 34 Project Windows, on Mac and Linux this limit is about 90.

Project Window Contents

The first time you start Audacity the Project Window will open in its default size and location; the Device Toolbar is turned off, all other toolbars are visible and docked. Here is a view of the Project Window showing the menu bar, toolbars, timeline and an empty track panel - no audio has been yet.

In the picture above all toolbars are turned on and docked in their default locations.

Above, some of the toolbars are detached from the project window--floating on the desktop; this leaves more room for tracks to be displayed.
