hey guys on the left with the new C13 that allows you to have a channel mixer strip with inserts, how can you make it so that it shows the same amount of insert slots as the mixer view? (F3).
I just find it annoying that i have to place a vst plugin and then keep dragging it down to free up slots.
If theres a workaround or setting plz let me know thanks
Yeah, I love those older versions that show all the insert slots at once, too.
Also, in Cu 13, if you want to add a post-fader insert, you will have to first add a plugin into pre-fader slot, and then right click, move to post-fader. That’s not as convenient as Cubase all the way back was.
I really prefer to be able to look up all the slots at one glance in the inspector.
Hmm… not upgraded yet, but this does sound like a backward workflow step (where C12 was better).
I’d suggest the OP adds the ‘Feature Request’ tag to the thread.!
This is really a horrible UI for the inserts, not being able to choose where to place plugins. I can’t think of one good reason to remove the slots? How does this benefit anyone.
I’m really hoping they will introduce a fixed slot setting.
Workflow killer
Yes completely backwards. So stunned by the assumption that users start at insert 1.
I’m here for the same reason - loving C13 so far but this is daft… I’m sure there was a Preference or dialog box for this in C12 somewhere? ‘Show number of Insert slots’ or something??!
This can’t be up-voted or supported enough. This is the worst change I think I’ve ever seen Cubase do; it’s absolutely horrid. I like to rearrange my plugins and sometimes I use EQ Analyzer to see how a group of inserts are effecting my EQ curve and now that is so painful because it’s really hard to put inserts above the top one… My God what were they thinking?
I 100% agree. This change is just idiotic.
I was a late updater, but C13 is growing on me. However, the change to the mixer is driving me nuts: the insert slot layout and functionality. Up until C12 you had immediate access to all insert slots (screen size permitting), and could put your plugin wherever you wanted. However, in C13 you only see the slots up to the first unpopulated one. On a fresh project, you see one slot.
For some, this is probably ok. But for me, it’s extremely limiting. I don’t always want to insert my plugins sequentially. When I create a new track I know that I probably will want an eq at the beginning and a compressor at the end. In the middle? We’ll see when the mix progresses. With C13 I have to insert the last processor in the first slot and then click and drag it down to open up the list. This is so annoying. I know I want the plugin in the last slot and I want to put ut there without any more fuss.
Also, yes, when one or more tracks get inserts, the number of visible slots on even empty tracks does increase accordingly – in the mixer. But this has no effect on the extremely practical left part of the new inspector. There it’s back to just the one empty slot.
Is there a way to change this behaviour? A pref to have alle slots visible?
j,
