How do I make the channel strip/track window visible in Logic Pro?

When I opened a Logic Pro project this morning. the tracks/channel strip panel was missing. The only panel that will open is the Mixer panel.

How do I make the channel strips visible again and why have they disappeared?

Thanks

P.S. All the options in the global tracks drop down menu are greyed out and can not be used

Track Header Showing "Track Header Components" on Right-Click I have started encountering a strange problem with the latest Logic Pro update. Whenever I open a WIP project, and "right-click" on the track tray to give me options to try to add a new instrument/audio track, I get one option of "Track header Components". (Screenshot Attached). Not only this My capture MIDI also gets disabled. It's only when i restart Logic Pro from a blank project, is when I get the options all back. Any solution to this, or is their a setting which is making it do this way that I am not aware off? Please Help.

Since Sequioa update, Logic Pro X is glitchier than ever. Updated iOS to Sequioa 15.3.1 New Logic Pro X glitches: 1) If I make edits during playback, even very minor, sometimes it keeps "playing" but stops actually playing the audio - goes radio silence then will suddenly output audio for a second then chop back out, even after I stop doing any edits. Usually I have to quit & relaunch to fix it. 2) Logic now automatically zooms way in on all tracks when switching modes, instead of returning to my prior zoom level in that mode (flex time, automation, etc). Really annoying to keep having to zoom back out so I can view multiple tracks and work. 3) This one was already happening before the Sequioa update: Logic often adds automation to tracks. Settings I never open or touch or add. It just randomly adds them in. Usually dry signal delay, sometimes other parameters. Really ridiculous. And if I move a segment from one track to another, it might add multiple non-existent automations, meaning I can't even access them to remove them, they are in the background and are not listed in the plug-ins. How can Apple consider this a professional program and have such major glitches, after all these years? Y'all couldn't figure this out yet? Really? And iTunes has gotten worse with updates too, removes playlists I created upon quiting and re-opening. And no access to track time/scrollbar when in iTunes with phone unlocked, only from lock screen. Huh? Let's take technology backwards, that'll be cool. Dude iTunes in 2012 was more functional. Why does apple keep making things worse with their updates? *Not a hardware issue, I am working on a 2022 M1 Macbook Pro. And my Logic Pro X is up-to-date.

Audio Skimming frame by frame whilie playhead skimming turned on is lost in FCPX 10.8? Hi, With an update to 10.8 I found out to my regret that audio skimming frame by frame is not possible anymore while playhead skimming mode is on. It is totally ruining my editing practice as i was normally used to work with playhead skimming turned on and using frame by frame audio trimming to match audio beats. Is it a bug ar apple is changing something that always worked? The only way now to listen audio frame by frame is either moving mouse cursor over preview canvas which is nonsense or turning playhead skimming off which wastes a lot of my time now because i have to switch between modes with every cut. Is there any way to fix this or is maybe apple going to fix this issue ? thanx and regards to all Community Members Simon

Thanks! Very helpful. The missing tracks window happened three times yesterday. I also just discovered Command 2 for opening a floating mixer panel, which is much more handy than the embedded that blocks the track window.

Go to the Window menu and select "Open Main Window" ( default key command Command 1)
