its easy, you just drag the window and it magically appears once the window is big enough

Hover your mouse pointer over the boundary line between the fader and the sends. It will change into a double arrow (at least under Win it does). Click and drag up. Dragging has a grid-like feel to it the hight of a slot/scene. Drag up two steps to show the desired fields, drag up further (up to ten steps) to get a really long fader.

This is one of the miracles in Abletons way of hiding such things and never mentioning in the manual.

Ahh OK...!!! I made a mistake... :oops:

It actually is mentioned in the manual. See ch. 14.1.1 - Session Mixer Features

Semantic search would be a great extra. Given the description of the TO he wouldn't have found matching strings.

hmm i asked a lot of pro trance producers - which are live user for a long time - but for some reasons nobody could tell me.
so it looks this function is a bit difficult to find ... :wink:
and a lot of ppl learning by doing i think ... so manual reading isnt something for everybody.
