Default Display module - clips in a folder track

Occasionally I like to lock a folder track to the surface just to keep an eye on things and see what’s coming down the line. But the rectangles that represent clips on the tracks in the folder are extremely small if there’s a lot of tracks in the folder. Which of course makes sense, except when tracks are hidden seems like they should be larger to reflect the tracks that aren’t hidden. Is there a way to change the width or ‘resolution’ of the folder track view?

Shown in the photo is my dialog folder with over a dozen tracks, but only three are set to be viewed. In a comparison the test folder next to it only has three tracks total. On the left you can see that the clips are super tiny showing that the hidden tracks are still accounted for.

Are the extra tracks in question - hidden but not inactive? Also - how do you have the pref set for "Exclude Inactive Tracks" ? Have you tried to look at the Meters & Waveforms view for the folders by chance?

Yes, the tracks are hidden and inactive and the pref is set to not show inactive tracks.

Where do I find the meters and waveform view for the folders?

From Settings > User > Display Module > Meters and Waveforms. Here's an example of how these would then look:

I see the screenshot mentions routing folders specifically. Do regular folders have the same options? This definitely looks very different from the display Vontrol views am used to.

With that display preset, the bottom half of the view (clip overview) is identical whether Basic Folder or Routing Folder.

best,


Jeff
