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
