Anyone besides me want to see more sends than 2 in the Console View?

I've recently been setting up multiple sends for individual headphone mixes.  Basically, I use X1 like a headphone hub for rehearsals.  Works pretty good.

Only problem is having to mouse click those teeny little arrows to scroll through the sends in order to make adjustments.  Seems like some sort of manager for the Console view is in order.  Somewhat, like the widget manager in the Track View.  You would select a view that would give you all sends visible with the volume control visible as well. 

Im 8.5, I could get 4 sends in the console view.

This is like 1 step forward and 10 steps behind!!!!

Hey now...wait a minute.  Wait till this thing is out of beta before you judge.

Er...he's "joking"...sort of.  Although to many screensets are layouts bastard stepchildren.  To others they are a veritable godsend.  Go figure.
 
 
 
 
 
Excuse me for this tangentialization:  This is a perfect example of what many Sonar users...not just myself...feel about good ol X1...that there are many new features of it which are solutions to problems that didn't exist.  They might have looked good on paper...even in early testing...but they seemed to "take away" more than they "gave".  I think this is the real problem that the bakers are dealing with.  Not bugs, per se, although there are many of those but the feeling by many legacy users that all the features and customization options they once had are (nearly) gone now and that their frustrations are not currently (and possibly not in the future either) being addressed.  Of course X1C may go a long way to assuage these fears.  Or excacerbate them.  We'll see.

Im 8.5

I thought you said it shrunk?

A big +1 to this! Like Mod bod i use the sends for headphones mixes for my bands rehearsals seeing all 4 in 8.5 works perfect, without this i haven't tried X1 yet for rehearsals Please Please bring back viewing at least 4!

Hmm. That quote - indeed the whole thread - was referring to some specific shortcomings of the narrow strips view. Most of which got fixed quite some while back, didn't they?

That quote isn't from this thread.

More than two sends, sure, it would be handy. It's not an immensely big deal to me personally, but it's a fairly obvious improvement to make. It should probably allow however many you like and let you re-size the sends area yourself, something like that.

I understood where the quote came from and what you have just said clearly makes the quote valid here.

I dunno. This is a thread about the amount of sends visible. That's a thread about the dodgy formatting in the narrow strips view at the time of release. I don't really see a connection.

Can I use this quote in this thread?

Sure I can.

Hey, will it be really considered an improvement if X.whatever finally gets back to the power and flexibility of v8.5?

Will it be considered an improvement if the 4 sends that used to be visible are once again made visible?

Or, will the restoration of missing features merely be a "back to the future" experience?

How can wasting a year, or two years, or three years, waiting to get features that were taken away put back where they were, seem like an improvement?

I doubt very much that Cakewalk does not realize that it is running off a substantial number of it's existing upgrade cycle customers.

I expect the return of the missing features will take place.

The nature of the work demands and defines the form.

The 4 sends were put there for a reason. It was a good reason back then. It is still a good reason.

This is sort of related:

To the graphic designer;

If you are going to create scroll widgets, can you at least make them big enough to target quickly?  It's hard enough to see them when your monitor is back 30" much less click them with mouse.  You're more or less required to be "sharp shooter or Expert" class mouse button marksmen to hit them.

+1 to this...


Plus allow for 4 sends vs the 2 now available....

This is the quote that was singled out from that thread...

"The fact that a supposedly GUI-centric release [X1] has such a huge oversight in the GUI makes me wonder..."

Is it true you really can't see a connection or are you just feigning silliness?
