    If the only reason you show the mixer strip is to see more of the effect name, isn’t the best solution for you an option to specify the width of the mixer strips? That way you’ll be able to see the full effect name even with the mixer strip hidden.

    yes. or any option that would allow me to look at a track and see the name of each fx on the track.

    I assume you are only talking about the mixer here. You do have the map row option enabled in the mixer so that you see at least the first part of the effect names, right?

    Also, why do you still prefer expanded mode instead of compact mode? One of the main benefits of compact mode is that you see the entire fx chain on the track lane header.

    so i am looking at compact mode because it seems to do what i want with fx in the track view. however, can i have the track view show no gain or pan dials but have them in the mixer view? this seems to help the track view look a little cleaner but still alllow adjustments to pan and volume in the mixer view.

    thanks

    You can’t hide the gain/pan controls in the track lane headers. You can however use the “show pan and gain sliders instead of dials” option in the tracks region properties dialog.

    yeah, i knew that. i was just curious if in compact mode i could hide the gain and pan in the lane header. that would be cool because it looks sleeker and you don’t really need the dials on the track lane headers too.

    i think maybe i should be using compact mode. as you said, i get a view of all of the fx on a track which i really like. i wonder if in the future you would consider having the gain and pan dials, or sliders, in the track lane headers optional?

    thanks

    I’ll keep that in mind.

    frits, for what it is worth, my only problem with the compact mode for fx names is…… for all of my digital recording life the fx names have been in the mixer view. most recording software that i am familiar with actually lists the name of the fx on the mixer. for example, if track 3 is a guitar track and i have four fx on it the mixer that corresponds with the guitar track will list by name the fx starting at the top of the mixer, like so-

    sonalksis eq
    sonalksis comp
    waves super tap
    urs blt

    have you considered that or is there a reason you feel podium should buck the trend?

    thanks

    The default setup of the mixer will show each effect in the chain.

    Make sure you have selected the “Map” row and disabled the “Compact headers” option in the mixer view menu.

    my mistake. under mixer view i had compact header still checked. man, i thought i had seen this view before.

    the space on the mixer header gets to full with a few fx on a track so i think hiding the mixer strip and using expand mode still makes most sense for me. i will use the inspector to view fx and open an fx.

    thanks
