Hi,

As a matter of fact, you can use this: Ctrl+Alt+click


(The cursor turns into little scissors).

Check out Mixcraft 10. Selected MIDI clips show up as ghost notes, and then you can Ctrl-click on a note to switch between clips.

Add a selection slider like in Studio One. In MC, you still have to select all clips with the mouse.

HI,

Pressing Ctrl+A selects all clips if you are working with tracks. But maybe you're talking about just one track? Double-clicking on to the left of a track brings up the mixer, but doing it again selects all the clips on a track.

The selection function is not saved on the selected area in the MС. This applies to all versions of MС. When I left-click or (Ctrl+A it doesn't matter) on a random area, the selection in MC is deselected, but not in Studio One.

Will it be possible to add FX to individual audio clips in MC?
Like here, for example: https://cryptpad.fr/file/#/2/file/Jfi+o ... leDXty31k/

P.S. Automation of the compressor, EQ, etc., I do not need to suggest. I am aware of that.

Suggestions for future updates/upgrades:

1. Include a Chord Lane to mark chords within the song.
2. Include the option to mark Store Items as Owned and hide from view.
3. Include the option to print/download installed VSTs from the Plugin Manager.
4. Better integration for the PreSonus Atom/Atom SQ.
5. Insert a blank measure before measure 1.
6. Larger font sizes for the pop-up windows. With all that space to play with, it baffles me as to why they've used such small fonts especially as they have no impact on the main displays.

My request would be to increase the contrast for the "on" state of toggle buttons like mute, solo, active (on-off buttons) and whatever similar items I might have missed (when using the dark theme).

OR, please let us set the color for the "on" state of such buttons, similar to setting colors for instrument and audio tracks (just one color for all such toggle buttons, of course -- not individual colors per button type).

EDIT: Just had the thought that those buttons might be raster images -- in which case, never mind.

Hi,

Is it possible somehow to fix the plugin window above the open mixer window? As soon as I touch the mixer to edit.

The plugin is below it.
Maybe it's possible, I just haven't discovered it.

Thanks

Hi Greg, i used to post my ideas in different thread but dicided to write on this one dedicated to suggestions.

Regarding "Disable Vst " - right click on Kb.Icon and disable from there with knob.

Problem 1: Its sill better to get visible activation knob for VST like its now with visible Effects knob on the main panel.

For now when most VSTs are disabled there is no visible info which is On and which is Off on the main screen / tracks panel.

And secondly when VST is off, midi track data should be greyed out or something similar.

It will help hugely to understand what is what on the project.

Cheers

Ivan

A welcome addition to the mixer section would be a variable high pass filter. That’s the first thing that I do to a when mixing. I wish I’d requested this before version 10 came out because it would really speed up my mixing process and eliminate the need for the Waves SSL E-Channel as the first plugin on every track.
