Track routing tree map visualization

[Davkas]

Hello everyone, I’m fairly new to using Cubase and I love how versatile the track routing is, especially when coupled with group tracks to route things through to keep things organized and apply volumes and effects to several tracks at once.

One thing I was wondering is if there is any way to see the current routing scheme in a visual tree map. I’m currently using Cubase 12 Elements, but I didn’t really see any mention of any such feature in the user documentation at all. This would make routing larger projects really easy to manage if I could see at a glance which tracks were routed to where those groups were sending to, all the way from the individual track out through the Stereo Out (or whatever final outputs are in use). Currently I’m just having to scroll through the routing section on the MixConsole and check each track to make sure it’s pointing at the correct group and mentally keep track of it all as I check each individual track, so having a tree map visualization of how everything is routed would be very handy to make double checking my routing quick and easy.

Thanks!

Hello Davkas,
If i’m understaning you correctly, press the “e” button of a instrument track and it will open your channel settings, on the top there will be something that looks like a bracket with a arrow pointing to the right, thats what your after.

I’m not exactly sure what you mean by tree map? I think you mean a map of whatever you currently have routed?

Here are some basics, but not what you are probably looking for since these are not specific.

Schematic Routing Overview

A mixer overview, a schematic tree-diagram, which shows the current routing of all channels. If you have a lot groups/subgroups/sends/sidechains etc. this would be a great thing to get a general overview of the mixing setup. This could look like the existing control-room overview, including the possibility to change the current routing, by drawing connections inside the graph, drag & drop etc. [controlRoomOverview.png]

or this?

CUBASE Signal Flow Diagram - Think Pod

there is a much prettier one of the above, but i can’t find it atm.

Actually, yes! The schematic tree diagram in the attached photo on that first post is exactly the sort of thing I’d love to see within Cubase itself. Something that would allow me to see all of the tracks and how they’re routed, and let me trace through from an instrument or audio track, through any group or FX tracks, all the way to the output track in a visual manner.

Hi John, This is in the right direction, but I’m looking for more of a big-picture view of the entire routing scheme so I can easy tell if something isn’t routed correctly without having to pull up each individual channel. In Greg’s post here, the image attached to the previous post about the schematic routing overview is exactly the sort of thing I’m looking for and would love to see in Cubase.

Aw well at least your on the right track now. Incidentally, from what i have read CB elements doesn’t have that capability your looking for.
Good luck my friend
