Summary | 0008022: Tint background color of Mixer- and Editor-Channel (Header) | ||||
Description | I love to have a fast overview. For years other DAWs can optinally tint background color of the mixer strips for faster overview. I'd love to see this in Ardour. | ||||

Please explain more clearly what you mean by this. Do you mean "use the track color as the background of the mixer strip for that track" ? |
|
use the track color as the background of the mixer strip for that track. I use pretty big screens and its hard go get an overview without the "coloured backgrounds" in mixer (or editor in track headers - where solo/mute and volume is located) just with the group bars above. Maybe its more reasonable with some pics. |

This is really a much needed feature IMHO. I tend to scroll in larger project while trying to read the labels of the tracks.. If there are 19 vocal tracks in a row it is hard to find what I am looking for. It really doesn't help to use a small screen for that matter.. Having Colors like above would make things quite convenient. Or in a shorter form: +1 |
|
@sonnie: those are not track colors at all, but group colors. |
|
|
|
@paul: Yes. Is there a different way to color the tracks (not the audio/MIDI items). These are way better for my eyes for a fast overview than these small track color bubbles. (see pic attached) I run sessions with 50-100 tracks+ and its very, very hard to see fast, what track is what type. |

|
Plain old Protools has this appearance which is quite handy if you are looking for one of the two dark green tracks and are in a hurry. |
|
Ok this make some sence |
|
I should be clear here: I welcome an option to color mixer strip backgrounds. But there's a lot of language appearing here about "track colors", whereas what is shown in the screenshots from other DAWs are not individual track colors, but group colors. |
|
"whereas what is shown in the screenshots from other DAWs are not individual track colors, but group colors. " No, in Reaper and Pro Tools it's called "Track Colors". But nevermind, we now know, what I initially meant. Thanks for your help. :) |

Will this be a feature of Ardour 7? :) |
