dropdown unpack/repack of normal folders

[Ploki]

just like in take folder, except it would work with normal folders.

i hate that it "re-arranges" the whole arrange window everytime i enter a folder, i would like to open it like in cubase (yeah i know i know)

Looks like you can either hate the folders or use them! I mean, that's the idea, that it re-arranges the arrange, so you can focus on certain groups of tracks.

 

Another possibility (and I don't know how this works in L8 ) is that you can have two arrange pages, one on top of the other. Top one has folders, bottom one is yellow linked so any folder you select in the top window will have it's contents appear in the bottom one.

 

So if you had say four to six folders upstairs and a reasonably large screen, you can really chop down the mess of tracks you view at one time. It's a nice way of working with large numbers of tracks and it saves all the double clicking to get in and out of each folder.

i like the way you are doing it.. i have to buy another screen.

thanks ill try it, im just used to "nuendo" folders where you just drop the tracks in and then expand/collapse them again. thanks:)

One thing about doing it this way is I have to drag the end of the folders out to the end of the song, otherwise they can dissappear from view. And of course, any 'sub arrange' page will call up a mixer that has only those track displayed. (Again, don't know what this is like in L8 ).
