Changing the vertical order of "Modules" in the channel strips in the mixer
Sometimes I'd like to change the vertical order of these "Modules" to better fit my needs. So that I don't have to vertically scroll the channels strips so much. Is there a way to re-arrange the vertical order of these "Modules"? Thomas

No. A feature request seems in order here. There is a reason for how the modules are displayed. They follow the signal path.

Simply drag them to the vertical position where you would like them to be.

Are we talking about the same thing? PC modules can be moved but not the position of modules of the mixer.

I'm talking about the "send" and the "fx" modules etc. in the channel strip, right above the channel fader. Not the Pro Channel section. Bst T

"There is a reason for how the modules are displayed. They follow the signal path. " While this may be true, it can be quite convenient to be able to access what you want right away. I was thinking about Mixbus where the channel gain knob is right above the fader. They sort of belong together quite often. The knowledge of the signal path is sometimes essential to know and you are right in mentioning this of course, as the order of the modules may assist in awareness of this. I guess what I want to achieve is having as much as possible visible and accessible without having to scroll or click too much. For instance, when using two sends on a track, I'd rather have the two send level knobs visible than having to go through drop down menus first etc. I really love when I at a glance can "see" the mix in front of me. It's of course a matter of taste and we all work differently. I spend a lot of time sitting at an old physical traditional console - at a glance I can see and compare settings. I'm probably trying to achieve something like that in Sonar if possible. Being able to just look and compare and reach out and tweak a knob. That also makes it easy to spot a mistake. Thomas

Is two monitors an option for you?, I have the console on a separate one and that works quite well. Roy

As was mentioned the follow the signal path so rearranging them might be weird and confusing. What you CAN do is collapse the individual modules so you do not have to scroll as far to access certain things. Like say you do not need access to the FX bin or the Sends modules you can remove them. However it seems (as far as I can tell) an all or nothing scenario. If you remove one module it removes it on all tracks/busses. To do this you have to open the Console, click the Modules tab (at the top left of the Console View) and then uncheck the module you do not need. I hope that helps. Edited to remove absolutely horrific writing. lol

Can someone fill me in on why people think this is an alt/troll? Either way the feature I described would (kind of) solve the problem OP is referring to so it might help others looking for ways to tame their strips.

Beepster...a certain person pulls this stunt after every new release. The naming convention for the pseudonym follows the same pattern and the questions follow a similar pattern each time. Your solution will be met with a counter as to why that won't work and/or an addendum to the problem that goes into detail some other perceived flaw.. It's a very softcore, backended way to complain about features. It's never one question. It is usually a series of similar questions with predictable responses from the OP. It's like clockwork each time .

I see. Looks Andrew has pwnd him with the "free support for registered users" comment which I find humorous. Still though I find the fact you can hide console modules rather useful. Doing it on a track by track basis might be cool. Rearranging? IDK. Seems unnecessary and could lead to confusion. Probably a pain to code too.

Also after rereading his second post he could easily have instant access to a fully visible console with one button press via a screenset. You could not rearrange where stuff was on a hardware console... well not without physically pulling it apart anyway (my Mackie is almost kind of modular) and that's not very convenient.

I think the real difference between the OP and people who actually, like, make music, is this: People doing real work just get on with it. Then, when they come across a situation where they could use a function that they can't find, they go and seek help on getting that. The OP, whose name is not Thomas, spends more time thinking up hypothetical gotcha use cases than he ever has on making music. This is one of the things that makes his "I'm a veteran of the old console days" shtick so hilarious. He's a veteran of nothing more than these forums. He might well have been in the same room as a console a few times, but he's clearly never done anything worth a damn with one.
THERE I SAID IT.
