errr, eh?.. what are talking about?.. what’s this got do to with the hovering in the mixer/inspector?
That i don’t need values on my screen constantly
Good to know.
Countless others do.
More hovering crap :
In my setup I see values OR names. I need to see both all the time !
Jan
No, i don’t, bars work much better, a mixer full of values is an eyesore…
No, if You have the ability to focus, it’s much faster, for matching channel settings, etc.
Jan
Now maybe they can make the view a preference, so you can see your values and I can see my bars? With bars you don’t have to read, i.e. Looking at sends, you can immediately see what’s going on on 50 channels or so, rather than start reading numbers row by row, not sure how you mix, but as mentioned earlier I don’t care if my slider is at -7.21 or -7.34 dB I don’t need to know that. This might be different for you, I appreciate that.
Another thing to think about is, how would you like to change values? For sure you don’t want to key them in?
Well, if the mixer channels are narrow, it’s more like -7 or -15.
Guess You would not accept that as ‘close enough’ ?!
The old mixer had the perfect solution. A bar AND a value display.
Probably not good enough for those screen smearers …
And yes, a preference would be perfect.

I have a 30" 2560*1600 LCD, I have no space issues 
But it’s more fundamental, with my outboard I also don’t look at a values, i just turn knobs and sliders, really couldn’t care less what value belongs to a setting I like., mix with your ears, not your eyes sort of thing, but if others need values, that’s fine with me too.
Just found out you can already do that in 8.2 just right click and select to display both 
life is good …
Well, not good enough …
Doubles the space needed … does not work in all areas …
V6 was much better.
The hovering makes working with Cubase extremely uncomfortable !
Constantly drawing mouse gestures, to make a ‘slot’ show one info or the other or the third.
Oh well …
During 30 years of working with Steinberg DAWs and SEQs,
there have always been usability highs and lows.
Right now, we’re VERY low … yet again …
Not good.

speak for yourself, I’m not part of that “we” What’s holding you back going back to v6? Also steinberg only celebrated 25 year anniversary last year first Atari version released in '89
I actually went back to v6 for the last few weeks to see if i could go back because i got so fed up with the direction Cubase is going, and to my amazement i actually loved v6 again!.. it’s much much quicker, it’s more snappier, doesn’t crash anywhere near as much 7 or 8, it genuinely feels like the code is far better as the program just simply runs better. i’m sticking with v6 for now, until they sort out this hovering.
I hope they don’t, V8 is the best version so far. I like the direction Steinberg is taking.
well then, you’re going be disappointed as Steinberg are indeed working on a solution to the hovering, so looks like v8 will be your last version if you enjoy the hovering.

YES, Please eliminate the hovering in the mixer. The new mixer GUI is way to “Fisher Pricey” IMO.
Hmmm … been using Steinberg software before Ataris were released. They had a SEQuencer for Commodore.
Maybe not released worldwide … ( I always lived very close to their HQs in Hamburg )
Jan
and i HATE the direction they went with 7 an 8. Sadly I have to work with this mess because of the console 1 compatibility. Good thing is: because of console 1 I have not much to do with the Steinbergs new toy-mixer, as I do all mixing withtin console 1
yes. put it in prefs. I like it the way it is.
I was one of those who was turned off by Cubase 6 because of the mixer. It was just overwhelming have all these buttons and symbols which I had no idea what they did / how to use them. Of course I could have taken the time to properly learn it, but I had music to make and would thus default to working in Logic.
When the new mixer came out I LOVED it! The streamlined GUI made it much easer for a new Cubase user to grasp, and the ability to choose only what you wanted to see made life much easier. I even enjoy the collapsible “racks” idea. However, needing to hover over items is the mixer to see their options is indeed a workflow killer, so I am torn! I now understand and appreciate the old Cubase 6 mixer!
I dont know the solution, but I just wanted to add that I think something should be done to streamline the mixer workflow even further, and do not believe hovering is the answer. I also do not necessary think a preference is the answer. I mean, the changed Cubase 7 mixer was not a preference - but maybe that was the problem?
I really love the new V 8 mix console´s extensive features and it´s flexible scalability - this is the right step in the right direction. On of the best mixer in the daw world, IMHO.
But I prefer Logic´s > mouse over in the Insert area.
…here is a YT vid where you can see Logic´s behavior:
I would like to have this also in Cubase.
Opinions?
