Hide tracks?

Post by Frantiac »

Hi, is there a way of hiding selected tracks from the main window like we hide them in the mixer? If not it would be useful to have the option, maybe even link them i.e when they're hidden in the mixer they disappear from the main window at the same time.

For instance once multiple send tracks are set up I don't need to access them anymore and even when they're at the smallest size they are still taking up useful space in the main window.

(I did post this a few minutes ago in Mixcraft Suggestions but wasn't sure if it was the right place to ask a question)

Hi.

Create a child track and then instead of sending the tracks to the master volume send them to the child track. That should collapse them in the mixer and on the timeline. You then get the option to ungroup them in the far left of the mixer panel.

Frantiac I think that is great idea!
When I hide them in mixer I would like to see the tracks hidden too.
Like you said even when you squeeze them they still take up a lot of space specially when you have send tracks too besides audio tracks.

Hi Ray - does child track mean submix track? If so then I can't find a way to get send tracks into a submix track. Audio tracks are no problem but it's the sends I'd like to hide.

As I've just posted in the Mixcraft Suggestions thread, hiding tracks would be ideal but if it's too complicated then maybe something simple like folder tracks could be added? Simple folders for putting tracks in, i.e. space-saving cupboards.
