Showing/hiding channel types
In the lower part of the common panel you will find a vertical
strip with icons representing the different channel types:
• To hide or show a channel type, click the corresponding
icon.
If an icon is lit (orange), the corresponding channel type is not visible in
the Mixer.
• To show all hidden channel types again, click the “Re-
veal All Channels” button.
Showing/hiding individual channels
Additionally to hiding or showing channel types via the
common panel, you can show or hide individual channel
strips. Proceed as follows:
1. [Alt]/[Option]-click in the top middle section of the
channel strip to activate the “Can Hide” option.
The “/” icon is shown if “Can Hide” is activated for a channel strip.
2. Repeat this for all the channels that you want to hide.
3. On the common panel, click the “Hide Channels set to
‘Can Hide’” button.
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:
About the Command Target
Command targets let you specify which channels are af-
fected by Mixer “commands” (all the functions that key
commands can be assigned to), e.
g. the width setting of
the channel strips. You can set command targets using
the common panel or the context menu.
The Command Target Controls on the common panel
The following options are available:
• All Channels – Select this if you want your commands to af-
fect all channels.
• Selected Only – Select this if you want your commands to
affect the selected channels only.
• Exclude Outputs – Select this if you do not want your com-
mands to affect the output channels.
Channel view sets
Channel view sets are saved configurations of the Mixer
window, allowing you to quickly switch between different
layouts for the Mixer. The following settings are stored in
view sets:
• Settings for individual channel strips (e. g. narrow or wide
mode and whether the channel strip is hidden or set to “Can
Hide”).
• The global hide/show status for channel types.
