How to make channel strips larger

[RedMagpie]

Hi all, I have just downloaded PT on a new laptop and when I bring up a session the channel strip sizes are tiny. I have tried Control+Alt+M but that only makes it smaller. On my main computer this is not happening. Any advice about how to re-size the channel strips would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Which channel strips? In the EDIT window or the MIX window?
In the EDIT window(to see a larger view for editing), you can resize the horizontal strips in multiple ways, mine being to grab the bottom edge(of the box with the name and view settings) and drag to the desired height(holding Alt while doing this will change all tracks)

In the MIX window, the usual default view shows a fairly wide strip already. Maybe you changed this to "Narrow Mix" under the View menu? That does make for too narrow for my eyesight, but there is actually an undocumented(I think) 3rd option that splits the difference. that is by using the "Fat Meter" trick. To enable this, hold "power claw"(all 3 modifier keys) and click on any track's meter. When the meter goes "Fat", the track size gets fatter than narrow, but fits more tracks on the screen than normal

If you are new to all this, youtube has many tutorials on getting started. If you really want to dive deep and become proficient, Groove3.com(paid) has lots of the best video lessons of anyone
