I'm Disapointed in X3

CJ, are you talking about how vertical zoom now jumps the view up to show (and zoom)  track 1? No way that's "intended". It's on my list to report.

Brundy, its not the zoom. Its just the scroll that you can do with the mouse wheel and the page up and down keys, so you can only see 1 track at top of the track view with a project of more than 1 tracks This no longer works in X3, because they intended it not to work anymore.
 
Gs ,im not harsh. IM just fed up with this. If they take features out, they should list what they take out.

Its not a smoother experience for me. Just add some code to make it so you can scroll to only see one track at top. That is all it takes.

PD!!! Love you man LOL

I agree Marky.

minor gripe. X3 is the business.

For you its minor. For me and others its HUGE.  I used that feature daily in every project, now i cant. That is not minor. When they start taking things out little by little. It will add up in time and its likely that one of these little things will effect you in a big way some day

I wonder if the developers would share why they made the change. It would be nice to know.

If to wish something here - it would be to have trackview a little context sensitive zones, like the right 10% (or 100 pixels) of track view would react to vertical only and the rest horizontal reaction.
 
This goes for all actions with mousewheel and combination with key.
Some more options in settings allowing this would be swell.
 
Reaper also acts differently when using mousewheel over track panels and in the track view clips part. Very easy to navigate without thinking at all.
 
Current operation forced in both directlons simulateneously is not useful - not to me anyway. No way I can foresee what will happend.
 
 

Lfm, Google 'cakewalk feature request' and enter your request through their official sight.

I am having trouble visualizing this as a problem. To be frank I haven't noticed a change. If someone would post a short vid screen capture of this as a problem it would help. 

CJ: If I could make changes to Sonar, what you mentioned here would be my #1 pet peeve. (along with better color options) I seriously and wholeheartedly hate this new scrolling feature and wish with every ounce of my being that we had at least an option to change it back. The only work-around at this time for me is to hold "shift" while mouse scrolling which will at least give you a half a scroll instead of it totally making your tracks all jacked. Try holding Shift when you mouse scroll. You'll see it's better, but it still makes me cringe.
 
I mean no disrespect, but is there any way to give us an option to still use an old feature like this that has existed for several versions of Sonar without just doing away with it? I totally understand why the change was made and that there are probably more people "for" the new way than those of us who may be against it. Proof of that is on the forum as not many have expressed their dislike for this. Honest I'm not trying to sound harsh. I'm just a guy that always likes "options" or at least the chance to go back to something that is useful in my work-flow, ya know? I've just always been against doing away with something totally with no option to go back. For certain things, I can understand...for others....the more options, the better for me.
 
I honestly cannot get used to this. It's jacking my buses up so bad I find myself really getting frustrated and annoyed. Can't we implement a scroll control or something? I can't believe there aren't more users complaining about this. So that tells me.....
 
CJ, we must be missing the boat and must have to revise how we do things. Do you guys not use your middle mouse wheel to scroll tracks? For those that consider it minor, unfortunately it's huge for some of us. Especially if you run a business and may have 60-80 tracks with 10 or more buses. Trust me when I tell you, it's been one of the most annoying things for me in this release. I can't say enough good about X3...but this is such a frustrating thing, it makes me seem more negative than I need to be only because of how often I am constantly mouse scrolling tracks....only to have them not end up where I want them. They go right on by, or I get a quarter of a track, or a half of a track...so I either have to make them big where I lose real estate or I use Shift and have to do two mouse scroll clicks to see one track in full view. The smaller I make my tracks, the worse this becomes.
 
Please give us the option to change this back Cakewalk....I'm soo begging. Heck, I'll even personally pay for it if it's not too pricey. :)

I'm pretty sure CJ isn't complaining about the scroll by track/fractional scrolling, but the in-ability to scroll the track pane regardless of track count to only display 1 track.

Well, different things matter to different people.

Well, different things matter to different people.

I was more just curious of why it would make a difference especially to the point of being disappointed in X3 in general over it.  I'm not against it or anything.

Me too. The most this could possibly be is a niggle, and a extremely minor one at that, which is why some of us can't help but wonder at the five-alarm sirens being posted.  Changes to workflow do affect our comfort zone, but this one doesn't seem to be such an all encompassing change that the Apocalypse has begun.
