Another simple 3 wishes for 8

Post by esky » Tue Nov 11, 2008 8:33 am

1. A simple connection between the session- and the arrange-view (like the chaining in Logic) If you select a track in the arrange view it should appear in the middle of the monitor if you go to clip view (and vice versa). Is helpful if you have 50 tracks running, you don't need to scroll for a selected track.

2.More auxilaries/return tracks. Why not 32 instead of 12? If you mix with subgroups 12 is not enough.

3.Individual Pre/Post Selection for every Aux-Send.

Concerning #2., why don't you just make a new Audio Track set to Monitor IN and send your Tracks there rather than waste a Return for mixing your subgroups?

Hey, thanks for your comments.
#2...your suggestion is a workaround, yes. But for me -as an oldschool mixer- ..i'd prefer auxilaries, because, for example, if you compress parallel...with your workaround you have to fiddle with a wet/dry knob to add a compressor to a subgroup signal. With an auxilary you can use a proper fader to add the compressed signal. I prefer that. But i'm oldschool...:-)

not only with many tracks per se..
4-5 tracks with lots of automation lanes open is already a problem..
