I think this is undocumented for the arrange page, but the track names (if long) will scroll when the mouse is over them, and a pop up box shows the full name.
This is one of those little unlisted updates that you get with a new version, that you stumble across.
Has anyone else found something anything else undocumented (or just not obvious)?
The scrolling can be seen in various places, not just the track names.
Seems to be a solution to anywhere where the text doesn’t fit into its display box - a problem thats been in all mac versions (don’t know about pc) up till now.
same place as the Audio and MIDI track names but for the Multi Output VSTi instead.
in versions < 6.0 it wasn’t possible and that created some noise in the old forum.
I just tried to see what happened and lo and behold!!!
Now it works!
Thanks for the info, though I admit, I must be completely daft here as I have always been able to rename my multi outs in Cubase 5 from a VSTi. For a test I loaded up Halion 3, activated all outputs and was able to rename those outputs in Cubase 5 and 6 just as I always have. Same with renaming them on the bottom of the Mixer. I guess I just don’t see what all the excitement is. I even loaded up two instances of Halion 3 in the rack and was able to rename both sets of outputs without issue. Shoot me I’m stupid!
My first reaction when I saw the scrolling names for the tracks was:
“Oh, cool! maybe they changed the VSTi names as well?”
Never did it occur to me that it could have been working properly all along!
Where did I get this idea from?
[edit]
There is an Audio and a MIDI section for all the VSTi instances in the track list. The Audio part can have its name changed but not the MIDI section. I guess I never got beyond trying in previous versions haha. Oh, well … Now evern I know what’s probably been working correctly since forever
