Billy86 46 Posted June 23, 2019 (edited) I know this has been discussed before, but I can’t seem to find the thread. I believe someone had a workaround of sorts. In track view, it’s possible to organize things into collapsible folders to conserve the screen real estate. It’s a beautiful thing! I have a project approaching 40 tracks, 18 of which are multi-out drums. Nearly half of the project. It would be great to collapse those in console view so I don’t have to scroll horizontally all the time to work on things. It’s a PITA. It seems to me that this would be a great feature: have the state of the console view follow that of the track view. So, if in the track view a group is collapsed in a folder, that would be the same state in the console view, and vice versa. Meanwhile, does anyone have a strategy to essentially being able to collapse tracks in console view into a type of folder, like we can do in track view? Thanks for any ideas!

CJ Jacobson 99 Posted June 23, 2019 No folders, but there is a feature to collapse them and make them smaller Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Billy86 46 Posted June 24, 2019 Yes, thanks. Even narrowed, as track counts climb, there’s lots of horizontal scrolling. Ugh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Craig Anderton 637 Posted June 24, 2019 (edited) Don't forget you can hide tracks in Console View with the Track Manager (keyboard shortcut H). When hidden, they'll still exist, and still play back...you just won't see them. Edited June 24, 2019 by Craig Anderton 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gswitz 357 Posted June 24, 2019 Can you use screen sets to save arrays of visible tracks? I haven't needed this before but it might work in lieu of folders. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tim Waterfield 3 Posted June 25, 2019 This what about using buses for drums, bass, guitar, etc and then you can turn off the tracks unless you need them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I never realized you could hide tracks in console view. I thought it was only in track view. Just hiding the multi-track drums clears up a lot of screen real estate... Thanks, Craig! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes you can. Works great. I have a Screen Set for Trks, one for Busses, and several others that allows me many different view very quickly, depending on what phase the song is in. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
