The mixer
The common panel
The common panel appears to the left in the mixer window
and contains settings for changing the look and behavior of
the mixer, as well as global settings for all channels.
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. [Alt]/[Option]-click in the top middle section of the
channel strip activate the “Can Hide” option.
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:
