Removing, adding, and moving track controls
The dialog is divided into two sections. The left section
displays controls currently visible in the track list, and the
right section displays the controls currently hidden.
• You can hide controls from the track list by selecting
them in the list to the left and clicking the Remove button.
To show hidden elements, select them in the list to the
right and click the Add button.
Click OK to apply the changes.
Ö All controls can be removed except the Mute and Solo
buttons.
• By selecting controls in the “Visible Controls” list and
using the Move Up and Move Down buttons, you can
change the order of the list.
Click OK to apply the changes.
Grouping track controls
If you resize the track list, the position of the controls will
change dynamically to accommodate as many controls as
possible in the available space (given that Wrap Controls
is activated – see below). By grouping several track con
-
trols you ensure that they are always positioned side by
side in the track list.
To group controls, proceed as follows:
1. Make sure that you have selected the correct track type.
2. In the “Visible Controls” section, select at least two
controls.
You can only group controls that are adjacent to each other in the list. To
group controls that are currently not adjacent in the list, use the Move
Up/Down buttons first.
3. Click Group.
A number is displayed in the Group column for the grouped controls. The
first group created has the number 1, the second 2, and so on.
4. Click OK.
The controls are now grouped.
• You can ungroup controls by using the Ungroup button.
Please note that this will remove the selected element and
the elements below it in the list from this group. To remove
an entire group, select the first (topmost) element belong
-
ing to this group and click the Ungroup button.
About Wrap Controls
This is activated by default. Wrap Controls allows the
controls to be dynamically repositioned when resizing the
track list. That is, as many controls as possible will be dis-
played depending on the current size of the track list.
If you deactivate Wrap Controls, the positions of the con-
trols are fixed, regardless of the size of the track list. In this
mode, you may have to resize the tracks vertically (by drag-
ging the dividers between them) to display all the controls.
About the Length column
The Length column in the Visible Controls list allows you
to set the maximum length for certain text fields, e.
g.
Name. To change the setting, click on the number in the
Length column and type in a new value.
Resetting track list settings
You have two possibilities to reset the settings:
• Click Reset to restore all default track controls settings
for the selected track type.
• Click Reset All to restore all default track controls set-
tings for all track types.
Saving presets
You can save track controls settings as presets for later
recall:
1. Click on the Save button (the “+” sign) to the right of
the Presets pop-up menu.
A dialog opens, asking you to type in a name for the preset.
2. Click OK to save the settings as a preset.
Saved presets are available for selection from the Presets pop-up menu
and from the pop-up menu in the top left corner of the track list.
• To remove a preset, select it in the Track Controls Set-
tings dialog and click the Delete button (the “-” sign).
Ö Cubase comes with a number of Track Controls Set-
tings presets available.
