Hi,
Cubase 5, at the top where you can solo or mute all tracks there was also the option to show the track colors. Now in cubase 6 i no longer have that option. So if I start an empty project and drag a bunch of audio files into it, all tracks are gray. C5 I would just place the mouse over each track in the Color area and scroll up or down to get a color. Any way i can get this back in C6? Thanks
Here is info form the manual.
Coloring tracks
All tracks are automatically assigned a color.
• To control which colors are used for new tracks, use the “Auto Track Color Mode” pop-up menu in the Preferences dialog (Editing–Project & Mixer page). The available options are described in the section “Applying track colors automatically” on page 537.
• To change the color for existing tracks, use the Select Colors pop-up menu on the toolbar.
This is described in detail in the section “About the Select Colors pop- up menu” on page 538.
• To change the color for a track you can also press [Ctrl]/[Command], point the mouse at the strip where the track color is shown and click. The color strip is shown, allowing you to select the desired color.
This method works in several places where the track color is visible, i.e. in the track list, the track name field in the Inspector, and the channel name field in the Mixer.
• To override the track color for individual events and parts, use the Color tool or the Select Colors pop-up menu. For more information, see “Coloring tracks, parts, or events manually” on page 538.
