I know there are several threads already on this topic, also on Nuendo and WaveLabs. But it seems it is getting ignored since more than 10 years by Steinberg.
Why is the horizontal scrolling behavior opposite on Mac compared to Windows?! I am working on both systems and it is driving me nuts when using a mouse with my macbook! I want to have the exact same behavior vor vertical and horizontal scrolling on Mac and Windows and I really do not want to use third party software to translate anything.
PLEASE STEINBERG!!!
Give us the option to invert the horizontal scrolling direction in the preferences!
It canât be that hard to implement this checkbox, I assume you just have to flip the signs on some numbers or scales!
tested yesterday with C12 Pro, had the same results with C11 Pro. Or did they introduce a preference setting I missed?
You can change the scrolling behavior in the Mac settings to match either the vertical or the horizontal scrolling with Windows, not both. Havenât found anyhting in Cubase directly so far?
Anyone with both Windows and Mac can check that as well? Thanks
On Windows, I fixed the Cubase horizontal scrolling weirdness with the X-Mouse app. I recommend it, it works perfectly.
Next week, Iâm getting a new studio computer, which will be a Mac. So Iâve been looking for an X-Mouse Mac alternative.
But if I understand your post correctly Honeyhill⌠on Mac the Cubase horizontal scrolling works the âright wayâ? Meaning, like in all other OS windows? Because that would be good news to me!
Would be nice indeed if Steinberg let us switch scrolling directions. It was really awkward using Cubase without the X-Mouse app. I mean - main Tracks window scrolls to a different direction than for example, ARA Melodyne window right below it.
Despite all this, Iâm really excited to try Cubase 12 on my new M1 Mac next week!
yes I know X-Mouse and I also had something similar for Mac, but it somehow does not scroll so smooth anymore or the scroll jumps are higher than normal etc. It is not a perfect solution to me.
Would be great if you could check on your new mac this week. Yes the scrolling behavior on Mac is like all other DAWs or timeline based software like Adobe Premiere etc. But as I started on Windows and Cubase 15 years ago, I am really used to the âwrongâ way on Windows and I also want that behavior on Mac.
So thatâs why allowing us to change both the horizontal and vertical inside Cubase would be the solution to all this. And it would be great if all software vendors would implement this.
Yes, the scrolling behavior on my new Mac is just like I wanted. Iâm happy.
Sorry for calling your way of scrolling the âwrongâ way I know people can be used to different things and the âusualâ way is not always the right way for everyone.
Did you try adjusting your mouse settings in Mac preferences? At least on Monterey, thereâs a tickbox that reverses scroll wheel behavior system-wide. Yeah itâs not a perfect solution having to click that everytime while using CubaseâŚ
Like pointed out here many times, it would be great if Steinberg let us choose our preferred mouse wheel scroll direction.
I use 3 different DAWs + Melodyne in my studio (on Windows 10) and Cubase is the only one which horizontal scrolls the âwrongâ way. Very annoying when switching DAWs or editing something in Melodyne, inside of Cubase!
Maybe an user option to select horizontal scrolling behavior in Cubase would satisfy everyone. ?
Same â all DAWs I use except Cubase are fine. And I really wish horizontal zoom-scrolling (ie cmd-scroll) matched Logic (or had a preference to switch it). I jump between Logic, Cubase and Pro Tools a lot (literally back and forth, depending on the jobs Iâm given) and lack of consistency is very awkward
I am using an app called âSteerMouseâ on my Mac, costs around 19 USD and it allows me to reverse mouse behavior on program level. Works for me very well actually, but still annoying that Cubase doesnât work correct here.
The weird thing is that Steinberg sets âscrolling to the rightâ equal to âscrolling upâ.
For most of us âscrolling to the rightâ is the same as âscrolling downâ.
I am working on Windows and I havenât found any other program so far that scrolls to the right when I turn my mousewheel up.
Maybe @Matthias_Quellmann can tell us the reason behind this special behaviour?
@Matthias_Quellmann Iâd even go further and not ask, what âthe reason isâ.
The question should be: When will you solve this?
I am like hundreds of other user whishing a solution for this:
SHIFT + mousewhee-scrolldown (inside the timeline) should scroll FORWARD- not backwards.
Iâve been working with mouses since day 1 of invention - this is just not common sense how it is.
Since thereâs eventually people who got used to it this, maybe it should be fixed with an âflip mousewheel axis for scrollingâ option somewhere in the menu? @Matthias_Quellmann Please help us. This has been brought up countless times.
As a crossgrader from other DAWs I can tell you this is a huge frustration
and there is no reason to âget used to itâ when all the other apps do it the regular way.
Just a small selection I did quickly of âsupportersâ on this issue.
There is propaby many many more of us if that helps:
I know people can be used to different things and the âusualâ way is not always the right way for everyone.
Gets me every time!!
They donât want to understand the problem.
