Astraios Posted October 24 Share Posted October 24 Hi and Hello, recently I've been taking a closer look at the track manager again and have found it a extrem useful tool. In the BitWig Studio DAW, the track manager is an existing element in the main workflow. Unfortunately the Sonar track manager isn't displayed in color and not expanded like the synth-rack window. You also can't continue working when track manager is open. It is also one of those Sonar windows that you can open, but cannot close again with the same keystroke (shortcut)... that can end badly in "Floating Windows" mode, because it can easily end up behind an open window. I fiddled around with it for a long time until I found a solution to close these windows --> "Actual Tool. I think this tool gives a wonderful control over all tracks and individual presets can be created to make the workflow easier. If MSR, Write and Read could be integrated that would be a great step forward. Using screensets as an alternative I found not so practical… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murat k. Posted October 24 Share Posted October 24 I've been waiting for a long time for Track Manager to appear in the Track Properties tab in the Inspector, just like in this image. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astraios Posted Monday at 09:14 PM Author Share Posted Monday at 09:14 PM (edited) Sorry, but I'm a bit of an idiot 🤡 Try combining the Transpose window with F11, and, or the Track Manager window with CTRL+U in the shortcut editor... well, for me I can't close them both again with the same shortcut, maybe it's different for you...? 😇 ADDENDUM 29.10.24 Take a look into my YT-Clip Time 1:25 - 1:30 (Track Manager on/off) www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHYMb3TZOdQ ADDENUM 30.10.24 Well, I didn't study cakewalkology at Harvard University to know that if you assign a shortcut to these little helpers, you can open them, but I can't close them again with the same shortcut... For those there is a Sonar listed Shortcut: CTRL+F4 "Close current floating window" What does Ctrl Windows F4 do? -- Ctrl + F4 - Close the active document (in apps that are full-screen and let you have multiple documents open at the same time).

Astraios Posted 5 hours ago Author Share Posted 5 hours ago (edited) All right, the track pane is basically a track manager, but unfortunately individual tracks cannot be hidden so easily and presets cannot be created either. The ideal track manager, from my completely unimportant point of view, would be a synthesis of Track Pane, Track Manager, Sort Tracks View and Track Pane Manager. Good Helloween joke, isn't it??
