0/ not an easy way to control metronome clic level in the main output
// partially solved with control room !
2/ easy way to create automation lane ( like : right click > create automation lane )
// partially working in 10.5 ( for steinberg plugs / some very few others )
3/ easier way of moving/ organising tracks in arrangement view in very large project ( without having to click and move/scroll 150+ tracks to place a newly created track in the right folder… )
4 / lanes copy zoom of the track ( when you have a vertically zommed track for editing, if you open lanes, you have to dezoom the track and the zoom all the lanes for easy and precise editing… )
5/ cannot merge Fx chain insert presets, so i rely a lot on IL Minihost or Blue Cat Patchworks
5b / on edit fx send, instead of opening the edit panel of the FX channel, it just open the first plugin… like in 2020 who only uses 1 plugin for FX ? i mean i always have at least an eq before my reverbs or delays
I’m just seeing also, there is no connection in Generic Remote → VST Control Room, in which Metronome level could be targeted with a MIDI controller. So that is a feature request in itself.
In the mean time, are you on PC? You could probable set up AutoHotkey to control Click level.
I will play around with some of your other suggestions later, but they’re good, thank you
The above screencap is 10.5, so you should be able to tweak it!
The very bottom pink highlight is the transport, you might have to enable this icons - and you have to drag the little vertical rectangle. Although there is no level there, it’s handy having the pattern selector.
Also note, the Control Room can be floated as a free separate Window if you don’t like it being in the Right Zone (either can be included in Workspace Presets as well).
I myself put off looking into Control Room and ignored it, but it’s actually very useful. Even just the inserts alone, that’s where all my master analysis and A/B plugs go. I also even drop EQs and test plugins in there sometimes to quickly test out an effect or listen to a certain frequency band. I have these analysis plugins binded to Workspace Presets that are hotkeyed as well, so they are always immediately available.
Pre-post buttons. I still can’t tell them apart, I go by color. Also, mute pre-sends when mute. If it’s a philosophical debate that keeps this from being fixed, just pull it off the preferences and throw it in the mixconsole as an option along with meters etc, so that we are forced to check it per project.
Quarters only M.M. Confusing.
Folder editing “the tracks are not in sync”… Ugh!
Bonus: Little things like the extending “Main” tab of the control room, that if you don’t sumble upon them, you are left with a wrong impression of the program. If other people were making Cubase they would plaster those features left and right in all screens “YO WE GOT DIS FITTURE”, but Cubase seems to keep silent many times, shooting itself in the foot, undermining its own image. Or offering a very low-key, en passant explanation.
I’d pay 100€ for a .5 update that tackles these, and then on the survey I’d choose “Very happy with the price”. I feel I’d had got my money’s worth. Honest.
Ok yes. I get it. I rarely use that feature so I didn’t know the issue. I kept racking my brain thinking what overlaps upon start-up and thought this could be trivial.
For #2, can you give a scenario where you want to create an automation lane as opposed to just clicking the W and automating whatever, and then that lane automatically appears? Assuming you have that preference checked?
About my 2/ about automation >
Actually that was how i was working > shortcut to activate Write automation > knob wiggling > automation track appear > then mouse work to actually write automation the way i wanted.
But i’ve just discovered since 10.5 ( or 10 ? ) the right click as the option "show (parameter) xxxxxx automation track " !
…but it is limited to steinberg plugs and a very few others ( fabfilter )
about scenario > lots of short fx send i draw with the mouse, some gain adjustement ( not volume fader ) between plugins… in fact i worked so long without something else than midi controler which is not precise enought, that i get use to do most automation by drawing points with the mouse… exept for orchestra controllers writing
3/ Pre-post buttons. I still can’t tell them apart
Same !!
About 1, i won’t personnaly describe this as a “quirck”, it is usefull to have this option in my workflow. i’m really in a 50/50 ratio whever i click yes or no.
the thing is, if we click no ( continue), it would be cool to have an additional option cut the notes where they exeed the boundary
5 > “the tracks are not in sync”… Ugh! same !
and 100% with you with the poor user manual / feature “show-off”
Will be creating a new poll in a few days
