Would you like to have these features available in Cakewalk? (Part 3)

[Olaf]

Quick display buttons in the Console View.

Since they will be on the already existing Console Menu Bar, they will not take any additional Console screen space.

See pic below for reference.

 

1. Show/hide (expand/collapse) Browser Window (docked/undocked according to its default setting), for quick FX insert drag & drop onto Tracks.

Saves the additional Workspace/window flipping necessary to access the Browser when you're in the Console view (pretty much most of time during mixing, for me), or the time consuming navigating through the right-click Insert FX menu - BUTTON 3.

2. Show/hide (expand/collapse) Buses. Avoids the manual dragging of the Buses pane to the right size, and then redragging it back to fit the initial size (minute, takes attention and time). This way we'll have the options of two clicks, faster, opening/closing instantly and exactly to size, instead of two precision drags across the screen - BUTTON 2.

3. Show/hide (expand/collapse) Master Bus. Does the exact same thing for the Master Bus. Again, avoids precisely and carefully dragging and aligning to the exact size - BUTTON 3.

4. Show/hide (expand/collapse) Sends/Bank/Patch modules. Shortcut to open the Sends without going though through the contextual menu - BUTTON 4.

 

To clarify, I'm not suggesting that any existing options be removed, just the open/close to size simplification buttons added.

No feature lost, just some additional options for quicker access.

 

Looking forward to your votes.
