winkpain Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 (edited) I can confirm @Helos Bonos and @User 905133 experience with zooming out with Alt-Mouse Wheel (or ALT-Touchpad 2 finger scrolling on a laptop) making extreme jumps. I have always been similarly frustrated by it. In general it is a jumpy scroll, nothing like the s m o o t h scrolling shown in the video mentioned above. I my video here you see me starting to zoom with ALT-wheel. I am moving very slowly and smoothly with no halts on my part. The zoom-out process, however, simply jumps first from a view of about 10 measures width, then to 15, then to 30, then full zoom-out to over 300 bars width. 3 distinct jumps, not smooth at all. ?

winkpain Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 ...It's strange that the Mouse Wheel Zoom Options settings don't apply to the PRV . They do make the wheel zooming in Track view a little better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helos Bonos Posted May 5, 2020 Author Share Posted May 5, 2020 A bit off topic, I might create a post in the feedback section but I find it very annoying that the muted notes in PRV are almost invisible. Like they couldn't just grey out the notes? It's just a very light grey outline with 100% transparent note. Find the muted notes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all, they are muted, inaudible. So nearly invisible makes sense. ? HOWEVER, the situation could be improved in your case by going to Preferences/Customization/Colors then choosing the PRV category and playing with your colors there, specifically the PRV Grid Background Brightness slider, so that the muted notes' outlines are more obvious. I have a custom color scheme for my own PRV and the muted notes show well enough... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helos Bonos Posted May 5, 2020 Author Share Posted May 5, 2020 @winkpain Well, you just solved that problem! But you know, why wouldn't CbB just give you a PRACTICAL color combination by default and let you muck it up if you choose rather than giving it to you mucked up so you have to fix it??? I notice a lot of defaults are like this and this is not only a CbB issue. Reaper is guiltily of this as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just think, it gets you to digging into the workings of your DAW and helps you learn a lot of new stuff! ? I know, I'd much rather spend more time working on actual music than making the DAW do what I think it should do, but it's basically another instrument we have to learn, so it needs a little time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helos Bonos Posted May 5, 2020 Author Share Posted May 5, 2020 I just discovered you can adjust the zoom amount for smoother zooming with the scroll wheel but requires more spinning of the wheel: Track menu item>Options>Mouse Wheel Zoom Options...>Zoom Factor>Horizontal But it doesn't fix the PRV zoom. Apparently there's no connection between the two operations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
