The mixer
3. Click the top “hide button” (Hide Channels set to
“Can Hide”) on the common panel.
This hides all channels set to “Can Hide”. To show them again, click the
Hide button again or click the button at the bottom on the common panel
(“Reveal All Channels”).
Below the top hide button, there are three additional “Can
Hide” buttons.
Channel view sets
Channel view sets are saved configurations of the mixer
windows, allowing you to quickly switch between different
layouts for the mixer. Proceed as follows:
1. Set up the mixer the way you wish to store it as a view
set.
The following settings will be stored:
• Settings for individual channel strips (e.g. narrow or wide mode
and whether the channel strip is (or can be) hidden or not).
• The hide/show status for channel types.
• The mixer’s display status (fader panel, extended panel, input/
output panel).
• Settings for what is shown in the extended view of the mixer.
2. Click the “Store View Set” button (the plus sign) at the
bottom of the (non-extended) common panel.
3. A dialog appears, allowing you to enter a name for the
view set.
4. Click OK to store the current mixer view set.
• You can now return to this stored configuration at any
time, by clicking the “Select Channel View Set” button
(the down arrow to the left of the “Store View Set” button)
and selecting it from the pop-up menu.
• To remove a stored channel view set, select it and click
the “Remove View Set” button (the minus sign).
About the Command Target
Command targets let you specify which channels should
be affected by the “commands” (basically all the functions
that can be assigned key commands) when working with
the Mixer, e.g. what to display in the extended mixer, the
width setting of the channel strips, etc. You can set com-
mand targets using the Mixer common panel or the con-
text menu.
The following options are available:
• All Channels
Select this if you want your commands to affect all channels.
• Selected Only
Select this if you want your commands to affect the selected channels
only.
• Exclude Inputs
Select this if you don’t want your commands to affect the input channels.
• Exclude Outputs
Select this if you don’t want your commands to affect the output channels.
