Jan,

Correction I'm having a problem too with FOLDERS.

It seems to work OK with tracks but NOT with folders.

EDIT: Nah it's messed up. Mine don't work either. I'm surprised I didn't see this earlier but I can't get them to behave.

Ah, I knew the Screen Set bait would bring the SS master in to the thread. Hey FBB I just made a video showing some BAD behavior. What are you seeing?

VIDEO HERE

Doesn't matter if Track and Console views are synched.

Larry , you are way better than me to present the behaviour I`ve experienced  : - )  Could you send in a report ?
 
All the best
Jan

I`ll wait for FFB and others response to this as well .
 
Thanks
Jan

Humble: Since FBB might not be able to check this out for a day or two - I watched your vid and tried something similar. I'm getting the same results with Track Folders. I haven't tested extensively, but I'm certainly seeing the same results as you are showing in your video.

Thanks Coda, I reported it to Cakewalk just in case it's been missed. It would suck for X1b to not be included a fix for this behavior.

Yeah, now we know it is there it's going to drive us crazy - LOL!
EDIT: If I get a chance over the next 24 hours I'll do a report as well.

I tried it with folders and tracks as I suspected the same thing and neither work.

I'm feeling like you a little like I should have seen this but I guess I don't use X1 with those types of Screen Sets. I usually don't have certain track visible on a specific a SS.

Seems like a great work flow idea, only MIDI tracks visible on your MIDI editing SS's. Only audio when editing Audio. Cool. Would be nice to have a custom default set up - "Show Only MIDI tracks" "Show Only Audio Tracks" I know track manager will get you there but a default might be cool.

I just inserted 4 random Audio tracks, no data, no synths. 'H' track manager to show all 4 tracks in SS1. Switch to SS2, hide all tracks but track 1.

Switch to SS1 and ONLY track 1 is showing. Hit 'F' 'fit tracks to window' and the other tracks appear. (OR) Click 'H' in SS1 which shows all the proper tracks, click OK and all the tracks show up. that's all I got other than the vid that shows the behavior.

It's getting weirder.

I create 4 tracks in SS1 copy to SS2 then hide all but one of them. Switch back to SS1 and all but one of the tracks is visible as per the 'bug'. Switch back to SS2 and all tracks are now visible!! A bug within a bug?

I wonder why this is only happening with what I've just created? It definitely isn't doing it in older projects or any other projects that I've created. very bizarre.

Hi guys , I`ve done some further testing .
As I said I made a template containing 3 screensets
 
1 SS . Superior Drummer folder with midi track visuable in TV audio tracks hidden. All SD audio tracks visuable in CV on second monitor.
2 SS. Omnisphere folder with midi tracks visuable in TV audio tracks hidden . All Omnisphere audio tracks visuable in CV on second monitor .
3 SS. Bus view only in TV .
 
I found that if I toggled between SS 3 and SS 1 it worked as expected . The same for toggeling SS 3 and SS 2 . But toggeling between SS 1 and SS 2 the problem persisted . Now in SS 1 I draged down the video view window just a notch and the problem where gone . I could now toggle between SS 1 and SS 2 and it displayed correct .
 
It is hard to explain this with words : - ) I`ll try to make a video .
 
All the best

"Now in SS 1 I dragged down the video view window just a notch and the problem where gone . I could now toggle between SS 1 and SS 2 and it displayed correct."

Same here Jan. Strange indeed.

I'm even more confused now. I've got back to my DAW and I cannot reproduce this bug at all. I've tried everything, copying screensets, adding multiple tracks, tracks in folders, out of folders.

As I reported earlier I can reproduce this on my laptop at will as long as the screenset is a copied version. The exact same actions on my DAW though and everything behaves as it should.

The only difference between my laptop and DAW is laptop is x32 all round, DAW is x64 all round.

I see your set up is x64 though Larry so I just can't work out what the difference between my laptop and DAW is. The only thing that springs to mind is my DAW will not have installed any Windows updates for a while as I manually connect it to update. My laptop auto updates via the regular windows scheduling. Do you think that might be relevant? It may explain why I haven't noticed it before.

Very confusing.

My system is full 32 bit, and I do keep my machine up to date with patches like your laptop (not automatic, but most get applied). Since Larry is 64 bit, I doubt 32 vs 64 makes a difference, but maybe the patching does.
 
Say FBB - you don't want to install all the MS patches to see if it screws up your machine do you - LOL

I've just checked on my updates. There has been around 55 updates to my laptop since my DAW was last updated.

Has anyone else not updated since 6th Feb? Maybe you could try and replicate this bug and confirm whether you see it or not. I'm almost positive my laptop wasn't doing this before. I use a couple of screensets set up with different visible tracks. I'm sure I'd have noticed it before so I'm going with the Windows update theory for now.

I'd rather not mess around with my DAW given that many are having trouble. I'll just be tempting fate. 

Well , I did some further testing : -) Now , in SS 1 I have the multidock at bottom and in SS 2 the multidock at the top . And now it worked like a charm  I don`t know the answer as to why or how
 
Hopefully the bakers will  look into this matter .
 
All the best
Jan
 
PS . I love screensets too ...... : - )
