Artist Mix and Hidden Tracks in Cubase
 

I'm thinking of getting an Avid Artist controller setup (probably 1 Transport and 2 x Artist Mix) and I'm trying to find out how things work with hidden channels in Cubase. Here's what I'd like to be able to do. Can anyone tell me if this (or something similar) is possible?......

I would like to be able to set up a soft key that will show me a particular group of channels. For example, one soft key to bring up all my drum tracks, another to bring up all my vocal tracks etc. Is there any way to do this? Of course, I know this is possible within Cubase, but is there a way to do it that will also be reflected on the Artist Mix. I have read that Hidden channels in Cubase are still shown on the Artist Mix so I'm just wondering if there's any workaround or secret tips!

As an alternative, is there a way to show only group channels? Or only VSTi Channels?

My projects can often have over 150 channels so I can imagine constantly having to use the bank keys to navigate through the entire channel list might become annoying if I only have 16 faders.

Hi

I use the function "layout" within the EUCON application to select, e.g. just the grp-channels or the fx channels.
No need to change something within Cubase. The selection is done within the EUCON software.

Just hold shft and press application to enter into the EUCON program.
Then select "layout" and choose the channels you need and store it with a unique name, e.g. grp or fx.

Furthermore you can call it with the already programmed button on the artist control screen.


Cheers

Thanks for the reply. I have read the manual and discovered this Layout feature. Sounds like the solution for me so I have just ordered an Artist Mix and Transport to try out.
