Most probably, because they are convinced it needs to be like this. Would not be the first time.
Thereās no way they forgot to add the faders to the checkboxes in the mixconsole.
I donāt really get this modular GUI approach, if it is only half modular.
I believe this is caused by an UI limitation. Most Cubase windows allow you to hide everything but one ācentralā element. For the mixer, thatās the faders.
But the feature request makes sense. Maybe somedayā¦
Why? Because some of us like the view of the āInsertsā section, for example, that is available only in the lower zone MixConsole (as part of the project window).
Trying to replicate that view is not possible in other main MixConsole windows if you cannot hide the faders.
This is actually a really good point, and its caused me to wonder -
Have we been asking steinberg for the wrong thing ( to hide the faders)?
Perhaps what we should be requesting is a new window, a āRack consoleā for lack of a better word. Give us a window thatās blank to begin with and let us drag and drop whatever
features from the GUI we want?.
