Track creation, immediately navigate track list

[Reco29]

Hi!

@emotive

I find when I create a new bunch of tracks and arrange them in order, i.e., by number, that even though I have interacted with them in some way, such as by clicking on them and dragging them to a slot in the track list; that unless I actually do something, e.g., by selecting Musical Mode for each of the newly created tracks, what happens is, I am unable to use the Arrow Keys, to navigate the track list.

I can’t confirm this behaviour. I can navigate through the track list right away via arrow up/down keys. Which key commands are assigned to your arrow keys? What OS are you on? Do you use a MIDI Controller?

@emotive

This has always been an issue, which hampers my workflow when creating multiple tracks at once and integrating them into a project, including moving data from MIDI tracks to Instrument tracks and finding equivalent automations.

What exactly do you want to do? There are several options.

@emotive

Moreover, the lack of being able to name all newly created tracks, except for the initial track, as generated by the New Track dialog, is forcing me to engage in rather slow routines during my work and I think the program can be improved.

What would this feature look like? Maybe PLE can help, there are a number of presets which can be used as a starting point.

@emotive

Being able to set linear or musical mode for newly created tracks, would also be a great assistance to workflow.

There’s a difference between linear/musical timebase and musical mode.
If you are referring to musical timebase then have a look at your preferences, please:

Edit > Preferences > Editing > Default Track Time Type >> musical timebase.
