Actually I think the Compact Track Layout does a decent job of simplifying things but I find the list of sends/plugins redundant with the improvements that have been made to the track inspector. All I would like to see there is the pan/gain and assortment of mute/solo/bounce/e buttons.

The problem with the list in the compact track layout is that you lose visibility once you add a couple of sends/plugins. Maybe not so important but why duplicate functionality that is handled so well in the inspector. Maybe all that is needed is the meter and buttons…

I can understand why you’d like a clean track header, if you prefer to work with the inspector and mixer. But there are others who have said they don’t like the inspector, and would prefer a way to work without it. The benefit with showing the sends and plugins on the headers is that you can see the assignments on all visible tracks. With the inspector you need to select a track before you can see the effects chain. Maybe I’ll add an option to hide the chain panels.

One thing I noticed is that if I create a new group track I cannot copy other tracks onto the group.

The track menus are not fully implemented yet. I’ll keep this one in mind.
