Add a Submix track and put them in that and click the lower left of the submix box to hide the contents, then you only have one (Mixcraft 9)Frantiac wrote: ↑Thu Feb 29, 2024 3:55 am 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.

Re: Mixcraft Suggestions!
Thanks Ian but I can't find a way of getting send tracks into a submix track. Audio tracks yes but it's specifically send tracks that I'd like to hide as I don't need to access them at all once they're set up.

No, send tracks can't be placed in a submix track at this time.

Re: Mixcraft Suggestions!
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.

Re: Mixcraft Suggestions!
A filter for only used notes in the piano roll would be very helpful

Re: Mixcraft Suggestions!
I'm currently using that too. However, you cannot make any fine adjustments there with Shift
Some time ago I told the developers that Shift doesn't work for precise adjustment in the step editor. The answer was that you don't need it there because it's the step editor. In my opinion Shift makes definitely sense there. But If that doesn't come into the step editor, then you would need a filter in the piano roll. Both would lead to the goal. So fine adjustments in the step editor or a filter for used nodes in the piano roll.

Re: Mixcraft Suggestions!
Dunno if this topic is even monitored anymore? It seemed to have disappeared at one stage.
But my two main frustrations at the moment are to do with hotkeys.
1. PLEASE can we have a way to create a shortcut to toggle 'Prefs>Interface>Auto rewind to start'? It's currently a 3 step process and something I use a lot when zoomed in and doing fine editing.
2. Right clicking Pan. We just have 'set exact pan', and former versions (9 downwards) also had a choice of 25,50,75 and 100% - left or right. A useful feature, I found.

Re: Mixcraft Suggestions!
I agree, I really need that too. You have to be able to switch between stop for editing and rewind. I already suggested a year ago that you can do it as intuitively as in other DAWs when 'Auto rewind to start' is off and you use MCU.TrevsAudio wrote: ↑Sat Mar 02, 2024 4:04 pm 1.

Single stop click: playback stop and the play head stays where it is so that you can edit something. That is currently the case.
Double stop press: the play head jumps to loop start.
Triple stop press: the play head jumps to the song start or position 0.
Sounds like we have the same requirement. S1 does it exactly this way, for example. This is super intuitive. Then the option would no longer be necessary.

I have a thread I started as soon as I had 10 installed and saw how the pan menu changed for the worse.TrevsAudio wrote: ↑Sat Mar 02, 2024 4:04 pm Dunno if this topic is even monitored anymore? It seemed to have disappeared at one stage.

Re: Mixcraft Suggestions!
Besides the panning option in above post I wish when I hide "mixer panel preference menu" it stays hidden. When I hide menu, save and close project then reopen project the panel reopens and my VST'S that I had saved open are a mess now. And when I hide menu to reposition my VST'S they end up closing and I have to reopen.

Optional sounds/ tones for metronome: drumsticks, triangle or shaker?
A-B button for punch in and out?

Re: Mixcraft Suggestions!
You can go into metronome preferences and choose whatever sounds you want. Wav or ogg files would be best.

Re: Mixcraft Suggestions!
This is a long list, dating back years. I suppose it wasn't curated in any way over time to gather up at least the most-wanteds?
Anyway, at the risk of suggesting something that was suggested before but I haven't read because reading 126 pages is a little over my time budget - I recently saw Studio One (I believe) and it displays the currently played chord (and possibly note) on the currently selected instrument track on the Play button.
Doesn't have to be the play button of course, there's more screen estate around. In Cakewalk I had to use a (Cakewalk-only) plugin to display this but it's a really lovely thing to have in the IDE itself.
