Hey,
In the latest update for Cubase 14, the direction of horizontal two finger scrolling on a Mac trackpad has reversed. I really don’t like this change, and would like to be able to change it back to what it was.
Is there a way to do this in the preferences? Why was this changed?
Cheers!
Also the crazy thing is that the horizontal scroll direction is inverted between main window and mixer window.
Yes this drives me crazy too. If they want to implement such a fundamental workflow change, why not give us the option to turn it off?
Came here for a solution just to find other people going nuts about scrolling behaviour permanently contrary to their internal wiring 
Found no preference and totally agree on adding an option to reverse it.
Same here, I hate that new behavior. Fortunately in Cubase 15, there is now the option to reverse the change. Preferences / Editing → “Invert direction for horizontal scrolling”

Unfortunately, in Cubase 15, the horizontal scrolling behaviour that they have introduced on the mixer when using a trackpad has completely broken the scrolling behaviour on the mixer faders and panning…
you can disable the mixer fader and panning scrolling (that I want), but not disable the new horizontal mixer scrolling (that I don’t want!)
This reminds me of how Microsoft forced unwanted features on users and refuse to give the option to not use them, or remove the option to disable them. It’s a major peeve of mine when companies do stuff like this and break fundamental workflow stuff that was working perfectly.
I wouldn’t say it was working perfectly. The mix console scrolling situation was a common complaint. People were very unhappy with accidentally moving faders and people were very unhappy with the lack of ability to scroll the mix console with the scroll wheel. I think that was one of the highest voted feature requests. So I wouldn’t call it an unwanted feature.
That said, you’re right, there should be a setting to make it work like it used to for anybody who wants that.
I get why people would want the horizontal scrolling with the trackpad or mouse, because having to hover over the thin bar at the bottom was not ideal workflow.
The fine adjustment of the mixer faders and panning with a trackpad was perfect (for me), as it just felt very natural. It is totally broken now in Cubase 15.
They could have added in a modifier key for the horizontal scrolling that disabled fader scrolling while active, and that would be have been a very welcome workflow improvement.
Not having the option to keep the fader scrolling behaviour from previous versions has me thinking that I will just stick with Cubase 14, even though I have paid for 15. It was a big part of my mixer workflow.
In Cubase 15, now I have to press the ‘e’ button to open the pop-up window for each channel, just to adjust the fader with trackpad scrolling. It has hindered my workflow and added in a whole bunch of pointless steps.
