Is there a simple way that I've missed to lock/unlock a tracks controls in console or track view to prevent inadvertently moving controls? (other than totally hiding track, and clip lock doesn't lock controls).
I would think right clicking on a track should bring up a menu option, to lock/unlock track controls, or a lock/unlock button on the track itself, no?
 

the only way controls can be "Moved" is if you go to the CV or TV menu and remove them.
I don't know maybe im confused on what you are referencing "controls".

He's asking about being able to lock a track so no changes can be made to it by accident. By "controls", I'd assume he's talking about faders and dials and buttons and anything you could accidentally click on in the channel strip or prochannel...

Feature request?

Thanks Boscoe, exactly what I mean.  

I think that's a pretty neat idea

Cant you just freeze the track ?
"Unfreeze Track= Discards the bounced audio, restores the original audio to the way it was before the last Freeze"

you can lock clip data by using "locking clip"

as far as faders, knob, exc... don't touch them

Actually SONAR has what I think is a better way than locking controls. For example with faders, right-click on the fader and choose Value > Set Snap-To = Current. You can still adjust the fader, but double-clicking on the fader returns it to the "locked" setting.
 
What I like about this is as the mix develops and I hit what I think are good levels, I set the faders for Snap-To = Current. That way I can always get back to the "locked" settings, while still being able to experiment if I want to make any tweaks. 

Thanks Chucke, LOL, guess I'm not that perfect and at times lose track of mouse location, (and have some visual impairments), a lock/unlock option, just sounds like a simple logical option when your actively mixing many tracks.

Thanks Craig, I like the snap option, I did miss that, albeit still would be nice to lock entire track with one click also.
Will that work when selecting multiple tracks holding "CTRL" key?
