Multi band compressor size

Cubase
1

Hi all,
I have a question regarding a Steinberg insert.
Having got the Cubase Pro 8.10 update and loving it, my question is about the multi-band compressor.
Like all my other inserts, it is always on top, and the GUI size is fine when first opened.
The problem is when I click on the SC button on the bottom left of the GUI. The lower side chain section opens but the bottom part seems to go lower than my screen so I cant see it!
I cant move the GUI up, and I cant resize it, so I cant use the SC element of this insert!
This insert has always been like this for me in Cubase Pro 8, and its not a biggy, but I haven’t seen it mentioned anywhere else
Am I missing something or is it my set up?
Guidance, a direction to previous post’s or any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Jim B

What about the project scroll bar you might ask? Gone it seems. The new setup does not seem to cater for problems like this. I have just been looking at this issue on my desktop computer. I can only assume you are using a laptop as the GUI seems to be longer than my laptop.

I think I have found a work-around. Switch to the generic editor via the little arrow extreme right in the drop-down menu. The third listed item is Show-SC click that to off and you will get the original GUI view back. Of course after you have returned to the plugin editor. I had to toggle it on/off twice to get it to work.

Hope that helps.

Thanks Silhouette,

Yes I use a lap top but it is only with this particular insert where this issue occurs!!

I will have go at your suggestion and let you know what happens!

To the best of your knowledge has this issue been raised anywhere else on the forum because I regularly check and I haven’t seen it come up?

I will be back in front of my puter tomorrow so I will let you know how your work around worked :smiley:

Well the project scroll bar was the way that you could get to the bottom of large GUI’s. it is one of annoyances of the new window system. I have not seen this specific issue mentioned or the problem regarding the GUI size on a laptop when accessing the side-chain function.

Little things like this are annoying because of the time it can take away from the music solving them.

Hi

It also affects project synchronization setup window, where the Ok/Cancel buttons appear off screen.

Well at least on a laptop

Perhaps you should mention this in issues as it is a downer if you use a laptop. The lack of project scroll bar can be intensely annoying. I don’t think all the implications of the new windows handling system has been thought through.
