Feature: fix a track in edit window
 

Dear AVID,

I don't know if wishing a feature here comes to have any effect. But I try.

I wish it would be possible to fix a track a the top of the edit window, regardless how the other tracks are scrolled up/down.
This would make mixing without S4/S6 so much easier, because I could fix a dialogue folder or narration folder on the top, to see when something is coming.


Best
Maik

Great idea!

I really like this idea. Would help immensely in dense sound edits.

I think was on Ideascale. Would be really nice.

It would be a nice feature indeed, having a dialogue track or folder fixed at the top of the screen, so that you know when you have to go up or down with music or anything else… I am in!!

I believe it might have been me that put it on ideascale:o In any case, I just emailed a friend at Avid about it. Maybe he can put it in the pipeline;) Thanks for reminding me of what a good idea it is(not saying it was mine before anyone else):D

Great idea. Sort of like Freeze Row or Column on Excel or Google Sheets.

I think this could be farely difficult as Pro Tools still seems to be an app of the 90ies rebuilding a tape machine. How difficult would it be to pin a track of a tape machine onto the first channel [emoji2]

WaveFrame DAW could do this 25+ years ago. You could also click the track "out of gear" so it would just sit there when you hit play or put it in relative sync just like on a Steenbeck.

Ahhhh Waveframe!
Brings back memories!
I loved that feature... it was great to drop and test sfx :)

Before I start mixing I bounce 3 mono DME's and place the tracks among the mix auxes which I usually have on screen while mixing. A fixed track would be great.

Re: Feature: fix a track in edit window
 

This is my reasoning for this feature. I think folder waveform overviews would be huge, THEN be able to "fix" the folder while mixing other elements around it.

AMS audiofile..........ahhhh good times, edit in source stack

Re: Feature: fix a track in edit window
 

Cubase/Nuendo has this (divide track list)
Other DAWs have it

Re: Feature: fix a track in edit window
 

For what its worth, the idea is in the pipeline. Where it goes from there is anybody's guess, but my fingers are crossed;)

+1 Just like spreadsheet 'freeze row'. In addition to Ryan's idea, having one of the re-record tracks visibly punching in on top would be very helpful in single-system mixes.
