Select Button and screen visualization
Hi,
There is one thing that i don't arrive to deal with in an icon configuration. When i have a big session, it would be very nice when i hit "select" on a track, to have that track on the screen, at the top for exemple, and even have the possibility to choose the size of the track with the select on. I tried to find any preference on this but never found it. Is there something i miss ? thanks |

Re: Select Button and screen visualization
Many of us have asked just such features. They would be great!! I think the ICON has been neglected in the development process for a while now and I expect to see Avid turn back to it soon, I hope!!

Re: Select Button and screen visualization
How about you hold down Ctrl and then select a track on the controller ?
Does that do what you want ? At least as far as bringing the track into view in the edit window goes. Chris |

Did not know about the ctl select feature. That's great. On the "Soft Keys" section of the D-Command there are "track size" up/down buttons. This affects the selected tracks.

Re: Select Button and screen visualization
Personally this type of implementation would drive me crazy in some situations. I find myself mixing faders against what I'm looking at on screen.
Such as riding a music or atmos stem in between dialogue. I often use custom fader groups with the pref (show hidden) switched on so I can mix stuff on the console against what Im seeing on screen. If I need to bring the EQ and dyn into the centre section for those faders on my dcommand I wouldnt want them trying to change what Im looking at in the edit window. It would have to unhide first (!) and it would be quite distracting - in THAT situation. In others it would be helpful. I love the ctrl modifier (scroll into view) for that reason, as well as using the zoom toggle with "follows selection" pref enabled. |

Re: Select Button and screen visualization
Thanks Chris for that.
I'm going to try it on monday... I would prefer without the modifier also but i'm sure it would be very helpfull. I'm working also a lot with custom faders, and generally when i hit the select button, i want to see the track i'm going to work with on the screen. By the way, i'm working with 2 screens, one for the edit, and the other for the plug-ins so i don't have to hide or unhide anything. Another thing : is there a quick way on the icon to switch to volume automation on screen and go back to normal ? thanks again |
