Don't close it Minimise it using " D " shortcut key...then when you press D again to maximise it will be the same as before

Use the " D " key for Show / Hide Multidock

I have 2 monitors as well with the main CBB track view on my left and the Multidock on the right Have you tried using the " D" key to instantly minimise & restore the Multidock ? This will work as long as you have CBB in focus. My screen record only shows one screen but this is my right hand screen as I read the forum and then restore the undocked console view. screen-capture.webm

Something like an oscilloscope ( which I personally have NEVER used in 30 years of making music on computers ) is vastly different to something like an integral sampler. A built in sampler with a good workflow is a core part of the music making process for many musicians especially in Pop - EDM & Hip Hop which are some of the most popular genres . An oscilloscope is a diagnostic tool used by a small minority and much more suited to being a 3rd party plugin for those that want to use one. Sonar / Cakewalk went from being one of the most popular DAWs around to being an also ran partly because those making Hip Hop, EDM etc found it easier on other platforms like FL Studio etc. because of the built in sampling capabilities. Not because of a lack of any diagnostic tolls.

Is this close to what you want ? ( but without the need for a dedicated Streamdeck shortcut )

As mentioned in the thread I have sped it up myself by binding the Bounce To Track Command to CTRL-B and then assigning a macro on my Streamdeck to also hit the enter key just afterwards so it seems like one action. It's pretty quick and one key press. screen-capture.webm

I would use it to :- A - Map out the harmonic structure of the track B - Test out variations of this harmonic structure . i.e. swapping / replacing chords , different inversions etc. C - Make sure all my parts harmonize with the chords chosen and remap anything that doesn't D - As a visual aid to the chords if I need to record a new part E - To easily transpose parts globally i.e. if a track turns out to be in the wrong key for a singer I've not used a DAW with a chord track but I do have Captain Chords and EZkeys so some of the workflow / features would be similar but more integrated.

Do you mean deCoda is developed by Zplane ? It's a very good tool. I think they have a solid foundation for this already with Melodyne and ARA 2 so there is no need to re-invent the wheel here.

The dialogue box is for what's included in the audio bounce. I don't mean copy the FX that are in the source track's FX Bin over. Do you want it to apply the source's original FX to the newly bounced audio ? Or do you want the raw audio without any FX on ? Personally I would want them on ..others may differ then you're back to the 3 clicks and it's no quicker than it is now. Except maybe a bit easier to find. I think binding what we have to a keystroke is pretty close. A macro or script shortcut is virtually there or thereabouts.

So what you are saying is you desire exactly the same end result that you can get with ' Bounce To Track(s) ' but with some of the steps removed ? So instead of it being under the Tracks menu at the top of the Track View you want it on the right click menu , and instead of the Dialogue Box that pops up with the Source / Destination and the various Bounce Options you want it to skip that part and automatically use the current selection - leaving everything enabled ( FX - Automation etc ) and create a new Audio Track below the current one with the new Wav / Clip ? If I am understanding you correctly you're turning a 3 mouse click process into a 2 click process but losing the option to customise the bounce. I agree the current right click menu should include Bounce To Track, it's more intuitive for it to be next to Bounce To Clip than tucked away at the top. Maybe it would be better to ask for configurable menus and macros then this type of thing could be easily done You can bind Bounce To Track to a keystroke - I've just bound mine to CTRL+B, so if I hit that and press enter it's pretty quick I can go one better and bind the whole thing to a single key on my Stream Deck

I would like to be able to drag and drop any midi track I have created into the chord track. Similar to how EZkeys works if you drop a midi part into it

Cheers Will but I don't think that's what the OP meant. Personally I want all files to remain within the respective Project folder , it's much easier for me to keep everything together that way. i.e all Project audio, CWP files, rough mixes and Final Deliverables are all in one umbrella Folder.

I agree it's a pain

1. It should be in the visual style of the Arranger Track as mentioned above 2. Midi Input Menu should have " Chord Track follow" or " Force to Scale " as options 3. ARA-2 Melodyne Tracks should have the option to follow chord track

Yes . This may help

I thought it was more about the transport etc that isn't mapped easily to CBB , pretty sure the browser/preview part works

You know KK is a free plugin right ? I tried it...basically all your Kontakt Libs have to run inside it..a bit like wrapper...only then does it integrate with their hardware. I stuck with Akai VIP in the end as it seems a bit more flexible and I also got that for free with my Oxygen61...but it's a similar concept

Also another time it annoys me that the scroll wheel cannot be used is when copying a clip from one track to another in the Track View. If that track is way up the screen it's really clunky to get there by nudging the top of the screen whilst holding the buttons down.

Nested Track Folders - Please !

You can do it in Fabfilter etc. nice workflow, no complicated setup - just mousewheel emulation

Yes, knobs I have this :

Plus the ProChannel modules don't have mousewheel support - and consequently do not work with controllers that emulate the mousewheel. i.e. Scroll Control feature on Audient Audio Interfaces..NOB is another

AFAIK it does reduce the strain on the CPU when you freeze. I had to use it constantly on my old machine - Not so much now as I've upgraded. Vs Track freeze works exactly how I'd expect it to, the FX are committed and taken off the CPU load , as is the VSTi - If you check the Synth Rack you can see it's been disengaged and the midi is replaced with one contiguous audio file. If you want it in discrete clips so you don't get the wasted space you mentioned if you right click the freeze icon you can change the freeze options to " remove silence " then you will get discrete clips that more closely match your midi clips. Some of what you describe sounds closer to " Bounce to Track " and I guess you could then archive the Instrument Track although I find the freeze more convenient as it's "in place " as you say. I usually freeze all my VSTi's to audio when making deliverables as then all the alt mixes are going to consist of the same audio. For stems I use Folders which I've been banging on for years need sub-folders but we all have our own workflows I guess.

Thanks - this one was too large to attach but I have sent another with the same issue.
