BUMP

also coloured tracks

if you have large sets it can be quite hard to see everything

Explain what you mean a little more as I am confused. Do you mean the clips or the actual scene including the scene launch on the far right?

You can select all clips in a scene,then go to the clip detail view and then change the color for all of them at once.

I like the colored track idea
3ghz Pentium 4 (Prescott), XP Sp2, 1gig Ram, Dual Monitor with Matrox Millenium, MOTU Traveler, Event EZ8 Adat card. Also IBM THinkpad t40 1.6 1 gig ram

no the idea is to colour the scenes themselves, and also tracks otherwise clps cant get moved about

for eg. in a DJ style set I'm putting together I have 4 group tracks acting like 4 decks - I have 4 faders on my UC-33 setup to receive them A,B,C,D - then I have all the individual tracks with clips on them routed to those tracks

sometimes I'll have 3 or 4 tracks routed to A, same for B etc etc - it would be alot easier if I could assign everything going to A the same colour so you can see at a glance which ones are going to fader A - at the moment I use the crossfade buttons as visual cues but there are only 2 of them so it's only half useful

it could also mean you could colour code your keyboard/PC keyboard to match

I just want to give each track a different color, up at the top where the track name is. Track 1 = blue 2 = green etc.

i knew someone else would want this to, count me in

track colours would be really useful and surely not that hard to implement.

Still in need of this - would be really useful - at least as an option. ideally with different shades as you go down through scenes.

Yes, I agree tracks should be the option to be more colored (also in arrangement view). Coloring clips isn't always enough in big sets.
