Track Names at the bottom of Session View!

Post by Pitch Black » Mon Feb 12, 2007 10:15 pm

A second track-name field at the BOTTOM of session view, say below the X-fader and delay field. I would find it so much easier if there was the equivalent of a "scribble strip" -or just the track name- down by the faders.

This is where you find the naming strip on analog mixing consoles for good reason - it's close to the action, ESPECIALLY in the heat of live performance.

Perhaps another button next to the X-fade and Delay on/off buttons could bring up this optional Track Name field.

Yeah, I could see this as being handy. Also very easy to select by a preference or little radio button like you suggest.

Its 2023 and ableton still didnt do it. I have no words to explain how stupid it is. i have a vertical 32" monitor as a secondary monitor and i have to look 32 inches up to see the track name and come down another 32 inch to adjust the fader. WTF who da hell making these silly mistakes. I don't understand.

The best ideas seem so bleeding obvious.
