Mixer and Workspace cleanup questions

Apologies in advance for, what’s bound to be, some level of RTFM questions… but I’m working in real time and want to, at least, get my questions jotted down somewhere. I’m still acclimating from over a decade of Ableton Live.

That said, I’m trying to tidy up my Mixer and busses in Cubase. I’ve recently taken the time to calibrate all my hardware/external compressors with a test tone so I can mix into them vs. changing and/or recalling the knobs for each piece of source audio. It’s liberating.

In a Cubase project, I moved track types… Audio, Group Channels, FX/Master… to Zones 1, 2, and 3, respectively. For a while I could see all the track types, Zone1/vocals and Zone3/Master, for example. When I got done, I noticed my Mixer now only shows Zone1/Audio tracks.
*Where is Zone2/Buses and Zone3/Input&Master?
They disappeared in a way that seems to imply they share a finite amount of space, then get moved (visually) to some other location

In an effort to see and work with more faders (without scrolling) for static mixing, I seemed to have made the tracks/channel width too narrow in the Mixer. The Notes feature (which I only recently discovered) is crammed in the smallest of squares, 1.5 x 1 cm tops!
*Is there a way to get an expanding popout window and/or have some way to both type and read Notes more effectively?
*Is there a [quick] way to hop from a Send on an [audio] track to the actual FX track where the plugin(s) is loaded as an Insert? - For example, the ‘All Vox’ FX Send has a Delay on it. Delay is adding mud (possibly) to the original/source tracks, So, is there a swift way to jump from the Audio track Send, to the FX track (the Send points to) to get to the Delay [quickly] to add a high pass filter??
*What’s the keyboard shortcut(s) to copy a repetitive type of Insert (such as a 3rd party Channel Strip) to every track in the project and/or a group of tracks (all vox, all guitars, etc.) quickly?

Thanks for any help

Hi,

The Left- and the Right Zones are noe scrollable. Therefore if you have so many Channels in the Left Zone, they don’t fit to the screen, you don’t see the Center- and the Right Zones.

If you want to organize your Channels by type, you can use the Visibility Agents.

Do you mean the Notepad? No, this editor cannot expand on top of the track’s width. But you can edit the Notepad also in the Inspector of the Project window.

For this kind of task, the Channel Settings Window is your friend. You can see the Faders of the source Audio track and the destination Send. You can also easily switch the selection.

Ctrl/Cmd+C & Ctrl/Cmd+V.
