Hi all,
Please Steinberg, make it possible, to have PAN and VOLUME on a tracks headers, some members posted nicely done pictures of that idea here:

This request has been a number of years floating on Steinberg Forum, but nevertheless we hoping it will see the light one day!

I am switching from other DAW MIxcraft 10, which has these controls, to Cubase 14 , and its so frustrating having had a small laptop and opening Mix console all the time in order to see Pan or Volume of all project at once. For now to see the dedicated Pan or Volume from the project page i have to click like crazy to open Inspector window???

Hi,
I don’t want to question your valid feature request. However, there are workarounds for the time being. I would advise to use a key command to open the Lower Zone Mixer. Minimize it to taste to reduce its impact on the project window’s real estate and you’ll have all level faders and panners. If you get used to it, it can really improve your workflow, too.
As I said - your request is legit, this is a workaround :wink:

Another thread is asking for inserts and sends on the track header.
How about adding the EQ curves as well?
And while we’re at it, a little meter?
A routing combo box would be nice. And a pre-gain dial.

You get my drift?

I think we’ll get them in Cubase 16…

Another thing to add to the track header that track panel icons should be auto rearranged when minimized by dragging to the left track window. It was POSSIBLE in Cubase 5 , now its missing, so another thing to reconsider.

Yeah. I wonder where it would all fit.

A request is always legit and since the icons on the track header can be arranged to taste already - why not? Not my decision to make.

Thinking about it, @Googly_Smythe, would I be in the wrong to assume that your track headers are packed as is because you have pics of your fav Tomb Raider heroine all over them? :wink:

Funnily enough, I can remember when Cubase allowed you to set an image as a background in the project window. And yes, I’d like that feature back.

Hi, since new update of Cubase 14 u can no longer resize the lower zone in Mixer View, it takes huge amount of space of the project page, even in Cubase 12 resizable faders still were too big.

Now that’s what it looks like in Cub 14.30:

No options to resize whatsoever. So Track headers Vol/Pan is a must.

Oh, I’ve never seen that feature. Didn’t even know that it existed in a previous Cubase version - interesting :wink:

It was in the Atari versions.

Yes, you are right about the fader section. I wasn’t clear about it, sorry. I meant everything above it in the Lower Zone Mixer.

Unlike the main MixConsole which has a “—” handle, in the lower zone Project MixConsole you just move your mouse to the line until the mouse pointer turns into parallel “resize” bars.

I used Cubase on Atari back then. You sure that wasn’t a poster hanging on the wall…? :joy:
Nice Avatar btw, makes you look 10 years younger :wink:

Even in the early 90s, I was too old for posters on the wall. But it was a feature. But it had to be black and white, not even greyscale.

18

Maybe, but it still takes about more then a half of display though.

19

I’ll take it. But I was going for 15!
The old one suits my persona, so I’ll change it back. Maybe…

Nothing against your request but are you sure that screen runs on at least a 1400*900 resolution without scaling?
