olavsu1 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Hello there, I have a freature request: Dublicate or move track related data (I/O, FX, automation, monitoring switch, etc) to there, were are the large icon showed. Why the icon gets zoomed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Why the icon gets zoomed? Because some users like to see larger icons on projects that have fewer tracks or when zooming in vertically so that they can easily identify one track from the other. I don't mind the larger icon myself, when zoomed in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olavsu1 Posted January 12, 2022 Author Share Posted January 12, 2022 Because some users like to see larger icons on projects that have fewer tracks or when zooming in vertically so that they can easily identify one track from the other. I would call this an unnecessary oddity, that could be turned on with an optional checkbox if the user is indeed visually impaired. /* It is the user's own problem when using a too high resolution monitor. Maybe the key code Ctrl + "+" help them, it made a good picture. I don't see a magnifier option in accessibility settings. it usually attaches a magnifier to the mouse cursor at a selectable magnification. */ I think, It is sufficient to paint them in a contrasting color to identify the tracks.

fuzzfilth Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Well, there's the one side who likes all controls being cramped into one place, every pixel filled with something and there's the other who appreciate a clean, non-distracting interface that doesn't get in the way. As usual, the optimum lies somewhere in the middle, but even where that middle is can and will vary wildly depending on who you ask. Personally I don't like the track icons as they're too small in a big arrangement and pointless in a four track project, but that's precisely why they can be switched off. Besides, even with icons visible, we're still able to see and operate 15 other controls on a track header, which is quite impressive: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olavsu1 Posted January 13, 2022 Author Share Posted January 13, 2022 That is track heder what I want see midi track header is showed. It's my old sonar. /*I showed my old broken workstation a bitten apple. his bad mood and tendency to strike disappeared immediately. */ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzfilth Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 That is track heder what I want see Then keep using Sonar With that track height, how many tracks can you see ? Three ? Four ? Even less ? Since you can have the full channel of the selected track in the Inspector anyway, there's not so much need to cram everything and the kitchen sink one more time into the track header literally right next to it. Also, once you get above a dozen or so tracks, the track header is so slim that there won't fit much of anything anyway. I agree with you, though, that the icons are too large. Luckily they can be switched off for good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even less ? What a question... I can see all the tracks, depending on the size of the score. There were 10 tracks in that score. All them was visible. I don't have any scores on dozens of tracks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzfilth Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 I bow to your ultimate superiority. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olavsu1 Posted January 13, 2022 Author Share Posted January 13, 2022 You thought I had all 10 tracks so enlarged? No, only this one was zoomed. Maybe tomorrow i will add pictures. Here the night will begin soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 I am not a fan of that suggestion for my own personal workflow, but I suppose track headers could be more customizable so that you could add more controls in place of the icon if that's what your personal preference is.

olavsu1 Posted January 14, 2022 Author Share Posted January 14, 2022 Large pic: that is Sonars whole project window, opened is midi file. The open menu determines what data is shown in the track header. Another thing, what I have looking from another DAW's. Where can configure midi output devices? It's not found in Logic and Garageband but it exists in Sonar If any midi device is selected in that dialog, then in future opened midi files outputs will be routed to the device, what is checked in and first in the list. Third thing : JUNGERAD-x.MID Look track10. Sonar shows that: channel is 10, instrument is default (steinway), and plays drums. But what Logic does? ignores channel and plays the piano (that is default instrument) so that the hammers fly . Many DAW programs have that problem, the drum track (midi channel 10) is ignored and they add an wrong instrument to the drum track that is randomly configured as an instrument. Some of them ignore instrument and tempo changes too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
