SOLVED - Channel strips disappear in console view

[charles kasler]

The views were in sync, but for some reason I had to expand the track folder in the track manager and then check it & it works now. 

Thanks for the help.

 

I have some instruments in a track folder but they don't show up in console view. I see in the track manager that it is unchecked so I recheck it and they show up until I try to insert a plug-in and they disappear again. It's a bug? Is there a workaround? Thank you

You seem to have started two topics essentially saying/asking the same thing.  Maybe you are not aware you can edit posts?  So, if you want to reword a post, you don't need to start a new topic; you can just edit the first one..

  Although I have used the track manager, I don't have as much experience with it as others do; so, as far as how it works (or might have a bug), I defer to others.

Yes I'm aware of the two posts, I just thought the first one didn't go through because it didn't show up right away.

Thanks for clarifying that. In the meantime, I loaded a project but with my limited experience using the Track Manager, I didn't notice anything unusual.  Tracks show up as expected in the Track View and the Console View according to my settings. Not doubting your results at all, but maybe others who use the track manager regularly can take a look and see what's going on.

It specifically the tracks in one of the track folders that don't show up in console view. They're unchecked in the track manager and they do appear once I check the box but disappear again when I try to insert a plug-in

Unless you have "Keep Track/Console Visibility States in sync" checked,  each track has a separate visibility state for the track view and console view.   In other words, you can have a track visible in the track view, but invisible in the console view (or vice versa).

Unless you've got a specific reason for tracks to have different visibility between the two, I'd recommend keeping this checked.

The "old" Track Manager (as shown in CbB / Sonar Free Tier) is context aware - i.e. if you launch from the track view, it's showing the track view visibility; if you launch from the console view, it's showing the console view visibility.

To make the track visible in the console view, either:

1.  Open the Track Manager from the console view, and ensure its checked there; or
2.  Just ensure "Keep Track/Console Visibility States in sync" is checked - that way it shouldn't matter where you launch Track Manager from.

The new Track Manager in Sonar Premium is also context aware, but you can clearly see which view you're altering by the highlighted buttons at the top - you can also switch context within the view.
