Customizing
Background
The user can customize the appearance and functionality
of Cubase AI in various ways.
User configurable items described in this chapter are:
• Setup dialogs
Several parts of the user interface (toolbars, Transport panel, Inspector,
info lines and Channel Settings windows) provide a Setup dialog, where
you can configure which items of the respective window area or panel are
to be shown or hidden and where they should be located – see “Using the
Setup options” on page 262.
• Track list
The controls shown in the Track list can be set for each track type – see
“Customizing track controls” on page 263.
• Appearance
The general look of the program can be adjusted – see “Appearance” on
page 265.
• Track and event colors
You can adjust which colors should be used – see “Applying track and
event colors” on page 265.
This chapter also contains a section describing where your
preferences and settings are stored (see “Where are the
settings stored?” on page 267), to help you transfer your
customized settings to another computer.
Using the Setup options
You can customize the appearance of the following ele-
ments:
• Transport panel
• Info line
• Channel Settings window
• Toolbars
• Inspector
The setup context menus
If you right-click the Transport panel, the toolbars, the info
lines, or the Inspector, the respective setup context menu
opens. For Channel Settings windows, these options are
found in the dialog’s context menu, on the Customize
View submenu. Here, you can activate/deactivate ele-
ments as desired.
The following general options are available on the setup
context menus:
• “Show All” makes all items visible.
• “Default” resets the interface to the default setting.
• “Setup…” opens the Setup dialog (see below).
If presets are available, they can be selected on the lower
half of the menu.
The info line setup context menu
The Setup dialogs
If you select “Setup…” from the setup context menus, the
Setup dialog opens. This allows you to specify which ele-
ments should be visible/hidden and to set the order of the
elements. You can also save and recall setup presets in
this dialog.
The dialog is divided into two sections. The left section
displays the currently visible items and the right section
displays the currently hidden items.
This section shows
Setup presets, if
available.
