GreenLight Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 (edited) Many projects have a lot of tracks, so to facilitate finding the right track quicker, how about implementing a track find/filter feature? It would change the display of tracks in real time based on searching all track names. CTRL + F or something could be used. ? Usage example: Type "strings" = shows all string tracks Type "slap bass" = did I have a slap bass track somewhere? (now, why would you? ) Edited June 2, 2020 by GreenLight Added usage examples 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Morgon-Shaw Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Good idea, you could possibly add it to the Browser or Inspector maybe ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenLight Posted June 3, 2020 Author Share Posted June 3, 2020 In Cubase there's a "Find track" icon just at the top of the track list, check it out below. It basically presents an overview of all tracks and let's you jump to a track. Maybe that's better/faster than live filtering of all tracks?

Bill Phillips Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Using the media browser preview usually does it for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Wolfer Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 What would be awesome is if this could also find clips by name. I do film work and sometimes I'm hunting through a bunch of tracks to find that "one effect" that I want to modify. This would potentially help me find it faster. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have big large Templates there is no way to find Tracks by Name .... See Video above. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murat k. Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 I think Track Properties Section is waiting for this feature expectantly. Just like in this image: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruno de Souza Lino Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Only worry would be this causing an issue Ableton is known for: it constantly indexes its folders and places it reads and writes to just so you can do searches like that. That often results in performance issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

solarlux Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Realtime track filter like in cubase would be more powerful when type in search for example piano and all tracks only showing with piano in name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
