Update left zone so we can adjust the width :)

One thing that is slightly bugging me is that,

When I am mixing, I tend to ‘tick’ and ‘untick’ frequently and side ‘visibility’ lane seems to be a bit narrow?

So I cannot check the full track name haha…

Um, not a huge minor but hopefully? Steinberg update on this :slight_smile:
Also I would loooove to make it adjustable also for, channel setting lane width! :slight_smile:

Thanks.

Hi,

You can change (a bit) the width of the Left Zone in the MixConsole. Would you expect more?

Hello Martin! :slight_smile: Oh, no :slight_smile:

I meant, not the console section, but the actual track info section of the other…?
I don’t know what to call it but when you open a project, hide the console,
you see the original window right? There, the left section of ‘track visibility’ width cannot be changed <—

Console left visibility width ‘can’ change I know :slight_smile:

Hey Martin, I think it is on the ‘track inspector’ left side?
Visibility option of ‘that’! sorry for not making it clear!

Yes, on console, it is really handy :slight_smile:

Hi,

You are right, the Left Zone of the Project window is not resizable.

Right thanks!

It is indeed insane that you can’t resize the width of this column, as with large orchestral templates, I first need to enable ALL tracks of an instrument before I can see which articulations need to stay enabled. I can only see the first 8 characters of file names of disabled tracks, which isn’t sufficient to select the right track in order to enable it.

Very similar to Eucon artist mix display limitation :slight_smile:
When Im doing the mixing, it is very stressful to,
code/name within that 8 letter limit,
I prefer to usually, put like:

  • VOX : LV
  • VOX : Dub L etc

But this kind of limitation forces me to ignore all that and put what it is straght from the start…
And sometimes, when my tracks are over 50, yeah yeah… it gets a bit cumbersome!

For sure… other than that, I love Cubase… :slight_smile:

+1. In any reasonably large project, track names will become too long to fit into the inspector column width and get mangled. It’s a productivity issue, and should be easy enough to fix. #feature-request

I would expect more because I would expect to be able to read all my track names.
Clicking on them doesnt bring up any kind of display, nor tooltip, nor preview - so there’s no way to know what you’re unticking until you do it.
If you’re trying to find one specific one in a long list, its entirely trial and error.

It wouldn’t even be a problem if you could just scroll left or right, but the visibility picker can’t do that either, so you’re stuck reading only the left 12 characters of any tracks.

Yes, you’re right, we need this.
I find myself tweaking the names of the tracks in such a way that I can easily read them on the left pane

There is indication that the Left Zone was being worked on for Cubase 13. We’ll have to wait for its release to see if horizontal resizing and scrolling have been added.

Does anyone know if this has been sorted in Cubase 13, please? It feels like such a simple fix that would have a hugely positive user impact, especially on those working in larger templates with embedded folders. Fingers are crossed!

Yes, the left zone can be expanded horizontally in Cubase / Nuendo 13.

Oh! that is a good good news. At the moment on Cubase 12 Pro, my project has 586 tracks with disabled/enabled tracks. Definitely I needed this. I will try it out.
