And right-clicking the track(s) and assign it with checkboxes to the viewsets you want it present in.
The menu coud look something like
View 1
View 2
Set all
Clear all
I find the “can hide” feature too cumbersome with large number of tracks. If you want to clear the “can hide” flag from one track you have to make all visible then sift trough all tracks to find it, clear the flag, and make them again invisible. Then overwrite the viewset… That’s a waste of time when I can just right-click it in timeline and check a box.
Most annoying this about current behavior is new tracks automatically show up in all saved mixer view sets (default is unhidden)! Now I have to go to every mixer view, hide the track, and resave the view… too much work.
Honestly the Protools implementation of mixer groups works for me too.
On a side note, I’ve toyed around with the idea of a more cohesive track workflow experience. Image this…
-create a folder
-put a few tracks in folder
-[new feature] all tracks & regions of tracks in folder take the color of folder track
-[new feature] group channel for folder is auto-created, all tracks in folder auto-feed folder’s group channel
-[new feature] folder shows up in mixer as a group channel
-[new feature] folder channel in mixer can be expanded to reveal child tracks
I have the feeling this sort of auto-organziation, auto-subgrouping-folder would cut out a lot of window switching, mixer setup, group assigning, color assigning tasks from all our workflows.
