Mac user here and I use trackpad. I don’t know if it works properly with a mouse.
I can scroll up and down in MixConsole window but not left and right. I have to either drag the horizontal scrollbar or use the left track list. It doesn’t make sense since you can scroll up and down or left and right in the project window, but not in MixConsole window.
Yeah it’s really weird and annoying. It doesn’t work properly either with mouse or track pad. Would love to see it implemented just like in Pro Tools, Logic and Fender Studio Pro where it works as expected and without any restrictions.
I personally have no interest in fancy new features before basic ones like these work.
Mac user here, I use mouse only and if I scroll with weel on mixer channels faders the view scroll left and right. Just for precaution I have deactivated the weel parameter edit in Cubase preferences.
Mac user here. Trackpad on MacBookPro. Works as Tomateck describes.
I’m a mac user with apple trackpad running cubase 15.0.21. it also works for me but I discovered the quirk is you need to have your cursor in the section between the track name at the very bottom, and below pan. I’m not sure if that’s a design decision or not, or if it’s just how it works on my machine. It would be nice if I could have my cursor anywhere in the mix console, but it does work.
Hhhmm, for me it works everywhere.
It works as you say (with the trackpad) but ONLY in that specific area - and it’s way too easy to nudge a fader while doing it. Also the scroll is intermittent/flickers.
Regarding the mouse (a Logitech) - it doesn’t work at all - except when I hover over the scrollbar - but then I might as well click and drag the scroll bar. 
I don’t see why it doesn’t work anywhere in the console both with mouse and trackpad like in other DAWs. It seems like a weird omission on Steinbergs part.
Are you possibly on Windows?
Oh that is weird. Then maybe it’s a bug and not a design decision (which would make more sense to me).
Yeah… I have that happen sometimes too. I usually keep the cursor lower than the fader area but agree, hope they can make this work better. I feel like proper mac scrolling behavior has been a long-and-winding road for Steinberg to implement… I remember not too long ago when honestly none of this worked at all
Ah, that’s interesting – mine was set to enable for that. However, my hopes were dashed upon discovering it made no change on my end (even after a restart). I’m on a desktop mac studio with the apple magic trackpad - wonder if the implementation is different than the macbook trackpads for some reason.
No, MacBook Pro.
I wish we could scroll left and right by pressing and holding the middle mouse button. It works up and down but not side to side.
Changing the preferences makes absolutely no difference for me. Still can’t use shift+mouse scroll for horizontal scroll anywhere in the console.
Yes, I’m on a desktop Mac also. Can’t use mouse or track pad for horizontal scroll even though it works great in Pro Tools, Logic and Studio Pro on the same computer.
Seems like a HUGE bug.
Update: I actually emailed support about it but apparently Steinberg doesn’t care about it.
“It works as expected”.
Sure - If you expect horizontal navigation in the console to be tedious and inferior to other DAWs. Disappointing, to say the least.
This works for me. I can hover my mouse over the console and the scroll wheel will horizontally scroll the console, just like in other DAWs. It works in both the lower zone console and the console window. Be sure to set your wheel mode preference to “Disable in scrollable area”.
It used to be you had to use the tiny scrollbar in the lower zone console, but that was fixed in C15.
Windows 11 Cubase Pro 15 here. If I hover my mouse over the bottom scroll bar in the console my mouse wheel scrolls the screen horizontally left and right.
There’s no longer a need to hover over the scroll bar to use your mouse wheel to scroll the mix console horizontally. That’s what was fixed in C15.
Figured it out. Thanks!
