Visibility/Invisibility of tracks

Wishlist Draft wishes

What is the problem?

Many users may find it very confusing, stressful, messy or unclean to have many tracks visible, which are not used.

What should this feature achieve?

Change the default layout or give option, to only show/visible desired tracks and then the end-user would add the tracks 1-by-1.

Most daws work the same way with only a few tracks and then you build-up the composition.

Example:

  • Ableton Live would allow 1024 tracks, but you would normally only initiate the tracks, which you need and not all 1024 tracks at once.
  • On a UAD console you would also only add the channels you need and remove the unused port options to have a cleaner view.

Said in other words:

Make the track-overview cleaner, by giving the options to make unused content not visible.

Are there any workarounds?

Cover 75 % of the screen with gaffe-tape.

Any links to related discussions?

Any references to other products?

  • Ableton Live
  • UAD Console
  • Akai MPC

I agree with you and bump this request to the devs.

The only thing I’m in a neutral state is to choose how much tracks should be displayed in the project, I think having the OG 8 tracks everywhere is fine, but let the people decide what are their thougs.

But in honestly think these extra 4 tracks really messed up the UI, pattern and song mode, make everything a bit more confusing.

So in the end I strongly agree:

“Make the track overview cleaner by giving options to hide unused content”.
