The mixer
• To set the “Can Hide” status for individual channels in
the mixer, see below.
The View options pop-up is opened by clicking the down
arrow located just above the fader panel of a channel strip.
• To select what to display in the extended panel from the
View options pop-up menu, you must first open the ex-
tended mixer.
Selecting what channel types to show/hide
You can specify what channel types to show or hide in the
mixer. In the lower part of the common panel you find a
vertical strip with different indicator buttons. Each indica-
tor represents a channel type to show or hide in the mixer:
• To hide or show a channel type, click the corresponding
indicator.
If an indicator is dark, the corresponding channel type will be shown in
the mixer. If it is orange, the corresponding channel type will be hidden.
Showing/hiding individual channels
(the “Can Hide” setting)
You can also show/hide individual channels of any type in
the mixer. For this, you can assign channels a “Can Hide”
status, which allows you to hide these channels collec-
tively. Proceed as follows:
1. Pull down the View options pop-up menu for the chan-
nel you want to hide and activate the “Can Hide” option or
[Alt]/[Option]-click in the top middle section of the channel
strip.
The “/” icon is shown if “Can Hide” is activated for a channel strip.
2. Repeat this for all channels you want to hide.
3. Click the 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
button again or click the “Reveal All Channels” button at the bottom of
the common panel.
Below the “Hide Channels set to ‘Can Hide’” button, there
are three additional buttons.
These have the following functionality:
Input Channels (Cubase only)

Group Channels
ReWire Channels

VST Instrument Channels
